What Does Svpb Mean

A premature beat is either called a supraventricular premature beat (SVPB) if its origin is above the ventricles, i.e., in the atria or the AV node, or a ventricular premature beat (VPB) if its origin is in the ventricles.

What causes supraventricular premature beats?

Supraventricular premature beats may be associated with emotional stress, excessive intake of caffeinated drinks, or the administration of sympathomimetic agents (epinephrine, albuterol, and other sympathomimetic agents). PACs may also occur with hyperthyroidism.

What is a pre heart rate?

A premature heartbeat (contraction) is a type of arrhythmia. It is a beat that occurs earlier than expected, briefly interrupting the normal heart rhythm. A premature heartbeat is often described as a “thump” in the chest.
