Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia: Understanding the Condition
Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (PSVT) is a heart rhythm disorder that causes sudden episodes of rapid heartbeat. The term “paroxysmal” refers to its sudden onset and ending, while “supraventricular” indicates that the abnormal rhythm starts above the heart’s ventricles, usually in the atria or the atrioventricular (AV) node. Although PSVT is not always life-threatening, it can be distressing and may require medical attention depending on its frequency and severity.
Causes and Mechanism
PSVT occurs when electrical signals in the heart follow abnormal pathways, leading to rapid heartbeats. Normally, the heart’s rhythm is controlled by the sinoatrial (SA) node, which sends signals in a regular pattern. In PSVT, reentry circuits or extra pathways create a loop, causing the heart to beat much faster than normal. Triggers may include stress, caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, or certain medications, although in many cases, episodes happen without a clear cause.

Hi shubhangifusam88, great contribution!
I’ve been following developments in South Korea’s health insurance sector, and the growth over the last few years has been impressive. A few things stand out:
Digital transformation: Insurers are rolling out mobile platforms, wearable integrations, and AI-powered tools to speed up claims and give more personalized recommendations. This isn’t just hype – it’s actually improving customer satisfaction and cutting down on admin headaches.
Government incentives: The government has been offering subsidies, awareness campaigns, and other policy incentives to encourage broader insurance adoption, especially among younger demographics who may not have been covered before.
Employer group plans: More companies are offering group health insurance for employees and their families. This collective approach not only covers more people but also promotes preventive care and builds a healthier workforce overall.
All of this combined is helping the market expand at a rapid pace.
