What is Svt?
1.
Stands for Special Vehicle Team, from Ford. SVT takes stock Ford vehicles, and tunes them to add more horsepower, and they even add performance inspired styling cues. SVT is responsible for making the Ford Lightning, Cobra, SVT Focus, and even the SVT Contour.
The latest product from Ford SVT, the Mustang Cobra, is capable of 12.0 second quarter mile times, stock. It also has 390 horsepower and an equal ammount of tourqe.
2.
abbreviation for SupraVentricular Tachycardia; an EKG rhythm characterized by very fast rate and P waves which are buried in the T waves (since P waves aren't visible, we can't call it a sinus or atrial rhythm). Generated by abnormal activity of pacemaker cells somewhere in the atrioventricular junction.
We came on scene, and found a 54 year old male, seated, complaining of dizziness, and palpitations. Pulse was 220 strong and regular, bp 135/90. EKG revealed normal QRS and no discernable P waves. It looked like SVT, so we printed a strip and treated according to protocol.
