Core Tip Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a frequent emergency presentation where troponin elevation is common but often misinterpreted. This narrative review highlights that in adult patients with paroxysmal SVT, elevated troponin usually reflects supply-demand imbalance or myocardial stretch rather than plaque rupture. Although troponin testing may occasionally reveal underlying coronary artery disease or acute coronary syndrome, most elevations have limited prognostic value. Overuse of troponin can drive unnecessary admissions and procedures; therefore, selective, risk-based testing represents the most appropriate and patient-centered approach.
