Outlook

Most people with episodes of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia live a healthy life without restrictions.

  • If you take medications, you may or may not experience some side effects. Discuss those potential side effects with your health provider.

  • In rare cases, if you have a continuous fast heart rate that goes untreated, your heart muscle can weaken and lead to heart failure.

  • If your doctor finds a specific cause related to an underlying heart or systematic condition, your recovery may depend on your prognosis for that underlying condition.
