SVT can be treated in several ways:

• Medication – Doctors may try to use medication to control your heart rate, to control your heart’s rhythm or to thin the blood.
• Ablation – The cause for SVT is an extra or accessory electrical pathway in the heart electrical system. A minimally invasive procedure called ablation can be used to remove this accessory pathway. This is a procedure where the doctor goes in through a catheter and uses either heat or cold energy to burn off the extra tissue in the heart that is sending the incorrect electrical signal.
• Devices

– Devices such as a pacemaker are sometime necessary to treat PSVT.
