Hi K.-
I actually have SVT myself- I didn't know I had it until about 6 years ago. I just got catheter ablation done to correct it in January. The procedure was not as big of a deal as I thought it would be and I haven't had any tachycardia since the surgery. SVT was just more of an annoyance than anything else. If medication is controlling it for her, then that is good. Let me know if you have any more specific questions!

I'm sorry to read your baby has this condition. I am not familiar with it, but did look it up to read it briefly. I am a fan of homeopathy an "alternative" medicine that's been practiced for over 200 yrs. I found an article that indicates homeopathy can help control your child's condition, perhaps heal it:
http://en.allexperts.com/q/Homeopathy-3400/heart-arrythmi...
My family and I see a homeopath for our chronic conditions. I started seeing Dr. Josephine Polich for my DS (now 3) when he had eczema that started at 1 month of age. Her website is here (she's in Naperville): www.dupagehomeopathic.com
You can email her if you want to double check that she can help your DD's condition w/ homeopathy.
She's giving a free seminar on homeopathy Sat 3/15 from 10-12 in Naperville. The info is below. I'd be happy to tell you more about homeopathy if you're interested, so email me offlist.
Best of luck to you!

Hello K.. My daughter does not have SVT but my daughter does have Marfan Syndrome. I have gotten SO MUCH infom from www.webmd.com. You can probably get more information from www.mayoclinic.com. Our daughter was referred to Barnes Children's Hospital in St. Louis, Mo. I would give them a call and see what they say (They are rated number 2 in the US for hospitals).

I don't have any children with it, but I do have a friend on an internet Mom's board who's son has it and she is always having to go through changing his meds etc. If you are interested in talking to her, send me your email and I will forward it to her. She is near Kansas City, MO.

Dear K. S
Please write what do you mean SVT= Is it Supra Ventricular Tachycardia?
American 's use a lot of abbreviation ,which in United Kingdom we don't like.
If it is saw let us know.
I advice don't give food which can stimulate more heart beats.

My son had open heart surgery when he was born, & had bouts of SVT's while still in the hospital that required meds to come down.
I totally agree with the 1st response....nothing that would aggravate it. especially sodas/pop/iced tea.....things that have caffiene in them.
I'm glad the meds are keeping it under control.
