Inappropriate sinus tachycardia vs sinus tachycardia
Posted , 5 users are following.
Hi,
I've been chatting online with other SVT patients, and somebody mentioned that they didn't knew they had IST, only on EP study they found out, an ablation was done and the patient's SVT not came back, but their IST became worse. Now, I was diagnosed with PSVT and sinus tachy. Is it possible that it was misdiagnosed? And what's the difference between the two?

I would think sinus T would be confined to the sinus node whereas the occasional SVT would somewhere in the area.
Good summary in Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inappropriate_sinus_tachycardia
I also find that a weather front approaching triggers SVT likely because of interference of ambient positive ions.
