I47.1: Supraventricular tachycardia
Your heart is beating too quickly. The fast heartbeat originates in the heart’s atria.
The heart pumps blood through the body. Inside the heart are 4 chambers. There are 2 heart atria and 2 ventricles. Both heart atria and both ventricles are separated from each other by a partition. The pacemaker for our heartbeat is in the heart’s right atrium.
Your heart’s atria are setting heartbeats that are too quick. So your heart is beating too quickly.
