Abstract

Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is one of the most common arrhythmias, and it occurs in the general population with a good prognosis. PSVT occurs in all age groups, with an incidence rate of approximately 1–3 cases per 1000 persons. We describe a patient presenting with PSVT and a complaint of hiccups.
