The Slower, the Better: Wide Complex Tachycardia Triggered by Flecainide in an Elderly Female

Case Reports in Cardiology, 2022
Class IC antiarrhythmics are generally considered a safe means of treating many common arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation (a-fib), atrial flutter (a-flutter), and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT).

Vagal Techniques for Terminating Paroxysmal Tachycardia in Children: Assessment of Clinical Electrophysiological Factors of Valsalva Test Effectiveness

Педиатрическая фармакология, 2016
Background: Vagal techniques constitute the first line of medical care for terminating paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia in children and adults due to ease of application, relative safety and possibility of avoiding injection of antiarrhythmic ...

Contemporary Management of Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia [PDF]

Circulation, 2003
PSVT is significant mainly for rapid heart rate. Prominent jugular venous pulsations due to atrial contraction against closed AV valves may be a clue to AVNRT. History, physical exam, and an ECG constitute an appropriate initial evaluation. Further diagnostic studies are indicated only if there are signs or symptoms that suggest structural heart ...

Self‐Administered Etripamil Nasal Spray Slows Ventricular Rate in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: A Post Hoc Analysis of the NODE‐303 Study

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Currently, there are no available fast‐acting agents to control the ventricular rate (VR) during atrial fibrillation (AF) episodes that can be self‐administered by patients on an as‐needed basis without medical supervision. Here, we aim to evaluate the effect of intranasal etripamil on VR in patients treating presumed paroxysmal ...

Conversion of sustained supraventricular tachycardia into sinus rhythm after stellate ganglion block: A case report and pathophysiological considerations

Journal of International Medical Research
Considering the anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology of the autonomic nervous system of the heart, therapy by means of stellate ganglion block may be a logical additional treatment option in certain cases of heart rhythm disorders.
