Phosphocreatine is an effective treatment for acute myocardial infarction and greatly reduces ventricular tachycardia paroxysms [123], It has been prepared in cardioplegic solutions for use during heart valve replacement operations where it significantly reduced ischaemic damage [124]. Phosphocreatinine, although less well investigated, also has a beneficial effect on the ischaemic heart [125,126]. [Pg.225]

Supraventricular bradycardia is treated by implantation of a pacemaker device or has been treated pharmacologically with atropine. Supraventricular paroxysmal tachycardia is treated with aj marine or praj marine. Supraventricular tachyarrhythmias or AV reentrant arrhythmia typically can be terminated using adenosine. [Pg.101]

As with all antidepressants, the TCAs are used cautiously in patients witii hepatic or renal impairment. The tricyclics are used cautiously in patients witii heart disease, angina, paroxysmal tachycardia, increased intraocular pressure, prostatic hypertrophy, or a history of seizures. [Pg.285]

The uses of the antiarrhythmic drug are given in the Summaiy Drug Table Antiarrhythmic Drug3. In general these drugp are used to prevent and treat cardiac arrhythmias, such as premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), ventricular tachycardia (VT), premature atrial contractions (PACs), paroxysmal atrial tachycardia (PAT), atrial fibrillation, and atrial flutter. Some of the antiarrhythmic dru are used for other... [Pg.370]

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).
