Many factors, including lifestyle, hereditary, and medical, can affect your risk for developing heart disease. Some factors, such as lack of exercise, poor diet, and smoking are within your control. While others, such as a family history of heart disease, are not.
The heart is a precious organ, that pumps blood to all areas of the body. Anything that causes your heart to not work correctly is known as cardiac disease, or cardiovascular disease, including disorders that affect the blood vessels that feed into the heart. Being aware of the common diseases and their symptoms may help you catch a problem before it’s too late.
The experienced Preventive Cardiology team at Heart and Vascular Care delivers individualized, research-based care aimed at lowering people’s risk for cardiovascular disease and its complications. We combine traditional approaches and new, research-based strategies to identify and mitigate risk factors for heart disease.

Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a condition where the heart races. A normal heart rate is 60 to 100 beats per minute (bpm), but someone who suffers from supraventricular tachycardia will experience times where the heart exceeds 100 bpm, and is usually between 150-200 bpm.
