A 31-year-old woman experienced a sustained supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) with a heart rate of 170 beats per minute. Emergency responders attempted vagal maneuvers to slow her heart rate, but the condition did not improve. Despite being informed that SVT is life-threatening and that hospital treatment can rapidly convert the condition, the woman refused transport to the emergency room. She expressed a preference to wait at home, believing the condition would resolve on its own and wishing to avoid hospital wait times. Medical control confirmed she was alert, oriented, and able to make decisions. Responders will remain available if she changes her mind.
