Adenosine is the drug of choice for termination of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. [Pg.108]

Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is a term that refers to a number of arrhythmias that occur above the ventricles and that require atrial or AV nodal tissue for initiation and maintenance.32 The most common of these arrhythmias is... [Pg.122]

O Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia is caused by reentry that includes the AV node as a part of the reentrant circuit. Typically, electrical impulses travel forward (antegrade) down the AV node and then travel back up the AV node (retrograde) in a repetitive circuit. In some patients, the retrograde conduction pathway of the reentrant circuit may exist in extra-AV nodal tissue adjacent to the AV node. One of these pathways usually conducts impulses rapidly, while the other usually conducts impulses slowly. Most commonly, during PSVT the impulse conducts antegrade through the slow... [Pg.123]

Common supraventricular tachycardias requiring drug treatment are atrial fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT), and automatic atrial tachycardias. Other common supraventricular arrhythmias that usually do not require drug therapy are not discussed in this chapter (e.g., premature atrial complexes, wandering atrial pacemaker, sinus arrhythmia, sinus tachycardia). [Pg.73]

Phenylephrine is used in hypotension, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, and shock. It is also used locally, particularly in the form of nasal spray, for relieving edema. Synonyms of this dmg are ahnefrine, degest, neoxedrin, metaoxedrin, and many others. [Pg.150]

Verapamil is used for preventing angina pectoris attacks, arterial hypertension, and treating and preventing supraventricular arrhythmia (paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, extrasystole). Synonyms of this drug are isoptin, calan, fmoptin, falicard, manidone, and many others. [Pg.264]

Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardias - 400 to 600 mg every 2 or 3 hours until the paroxysm is terminated. [Pg.422]

Atrial fibrillation For the prevention of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation/flutter (PAF) associated with disabling symptoms and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardias (PSVT), including atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia, atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia, and other supraventricular tachycardias of unspecified mechanism associated with disabling symptoms in patients without structural heart disease. [Pg.457]

Adenosine reduces heart rate and AV conduction, although it is not a calcium antagonist. It is administered intravenously for the acute treatment of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. Adenosine displays a rapid onset and short duration of action. Apart from its antiarrhythmic activity it is also a vasodilator, in particular in the coronary system. [Pg.341]

Diltiazem Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia Atrial fibrillation... [Pg.183]

The prominent depressant action of verapamil and diltiazem at the SA and A-V nodes finds use in specific arrhythmias. They are of proven efficacy in acute control and long-term management of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (see Chapter 16).Their ability to inhibit conduction at the A-V node is employed in protecting ventricles from atrial tachyarrhythmias, often in combination with digitalis or propranolol. [Pg.221]

Unlabeled Uses Control of hemodynamicallystableventriculartachycardia, control of rapid ventricular rate due to accessory pathway conduction in preexcited atrial arrhythmias, conversion of atrial fibrillation to normal sinus rhythm, in cardiac arrest with persistent ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, polymorphic ventricular tachycardia or wide complex tachycardia of uncertain origin, prevention of postoperative atrial fibrillation... [Pg.57]

It is a vasopressor agent with some structural similarity to adrenaline and has a powerful alpha receptor stimulant action. The pressor response is accompanied by reflex bradycardia. It is used as a nasal decongestant and mydriatic agent and also in the treatment of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. [Pg.138]

It is effective orally and resistant to pseudo-cholinesterase and possesses longer duration of action. Its nicotinic action is less than acetylcholine and actions are more marked on CVS as compared to GIT and urinary system. Earlier it was used for CVS disorders such as peripheral vascular disease and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. But now, it is rarely used in therapeutics. [Pg.157]

SA node Digitalis sensitizes the SA node to normal vagal impulse resulting in bradycardia. In a patient suffering from paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, it decreases the heart rate due to vagal action on SA node which is associated with decrease in the slope of slow diastolic depolarisation and increase in the transmembrane negativity and, also lower the SA rate by antiadrenergic action. [Pg.170]
