Hi There
I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that SVT is a type of Rhythm abnormality which could very well be treated by medicines and if it's very frequent and troubles you then it can be treated with a procedure called EPS and RFA.
No it's not at all any type of HEART ATTACK.
I wish you Good Health
