Supraventricular tachycardia is a fast heart rhythm that originates in the atrial chambers of the heart and is usually self-limited. This may have been related to the stress test, usually only lasts for a few minutes, and may also be related to his leaky mitral valve. Repairing the mitral valve offers the best chance of preventing this rhythm disturbance from recurring. That may be the most useful information you can find. I hope you find this information useful.
