Is RSVT Genetically Acquired?
My second oldest brother has RSVT, but we have no known heart problems in our family, is this genetic or just something that happens to certain people. I, myself have had my heart start racing just after lying down,or even from just walking within the house; but mostly it comes and go when I m relaxed just out of the blue. Should I be concerned?

Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
RSVT( Re-entrant Supraventricular Tachycardia) is not hereditary or genetically linked disorder.You however need to undergo ECG/Holter Monitoring to know the nature of heart rhythm, as you have intermittent racing of heart beat.
