Supraventricular Rhythms originate from the atria. Examples of supraventricular rhythms are:
- Atrial Premature Complexes
- Sinustachycardia
- Atrial Flutter
- Atrial Fibrillation
- Atrial Tachycardia
- AVNRT
- Atrio-ventricular Reentry Tachycardia AVRT
- AV junctional tachycardia

| sinustachycardia | regular | 100-180 bpm | 100-180 bpm | sinusnode (SVT) | precedes every QRS complex | gradual slowing | |
| atrial fibrillation | grossly irregular | 400-600 bpm | 75-175 bpm | atria (SVT) | absent | slows down rate; irregularity remains | |
