Edited: I meant to start out by saying I'm sorry your doctor gave you incorrect or confusing information about IST! After I posted (oops!) I saw the IST (inappropriate sinus tachycardia) definition in the study. So I edited my post. Using the study definition IST is different from SVT. This...

I tried to google but got some confusing results. Do you know whether "inappropriate sinus tachycardia" is the same as supraventricular tachycardia (SVT)? Or maybe it's a superset? Subset? EDITED: Oops! I just read the study and found the IST definition: "IST was defined according to...
