Is A High SVT Cause For Concern?
My husband recently underwent cryoablation for atrial fib (3 weeks ago) and has done great. He turned 65 this past weekend and we celebrated with some seafood and wine. He developed atrial fib for 24 hours which has now resolved into what I assume is SVT at a rate of 120-140 bpm. I called his electrophysiologist who will see him in a few days, but should we be concerned?
