This episode is part of ACC’s ongoing effort to improve recognition and diagnosis of arrhythmias in clinical practice. In this CardiaCast, faculty explore a modern approach to identifying paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT), with a focus on real-world diagnostic challenges. The discussion highlights how to differentiate PSVT from other common causes of palpitations, interpret normal electrocardiograms between episodes, and recognize patterns that may be misattributed to anxiety, particularly in otherwise healthy patients. The episode also reviews practical strategies for rhythm capture, including ambulatory monitoring and patient-directed documentation, to support timely and accurate diagnosis.

This podcast is part of the ACC’s educational initiative on PSVT, supported by an independent educational grant from Milestone Pharmaceuticals Inc. Click here to learn more.
