Brief Answer:
SVT accounts for the picture
Detailed Answer:
Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Your brother is in good hands.
The diagnosis and treatment are appropriate and state of the art.
Good that there is no significant disease of the coronary arteries…
It should be abnormal nerve paths in the heart (bypass tracts) or disease of the conduction system that is responsible! The rapid heart rate accounts for the rest of the problems...
If the problem recurs and is still bothering to the extent of interfering with life style, he may need EPS –
Electro Physiological Studies (EPS) > it resembles angio – a catheter is put inside the heart / electrical activity recorded / stimulation and suppression tests are carried out / suitable medicine tested and so on. There are other advanced treatment modalities - like ablation (thermal or radio-frequency), which could be done during EPS. This super-speciality expert is called ELECTRO-PHYSIOLOGIST. The treating doctor may suggest them depending on need, based on his assessment of the situation.

Take care
Good luck
