Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
PSVT is characterised with episodes of increased heart rate which start and finish abruptly.
The prognosis of the condition depends on the underlying structure of the heart, if the structure normal then the prognosis is usually very good.
The beta blockers are one of the medications more commonly used to help control the heart rate.
I hope this helps
