Stable Tachycardia Algorithm Notes
-
If there is resumption of tachycardia after conversion, treat with longer acting AV nodal blocking agents, including beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers.
-
If patient converts to normal sinus rhythm, reentry SVT was probably the etiology of tachycardia.
-
For atrial fibrillation, consider cardiology consultation. Control the rate with B-blocker/calcium channel blocker.
-
Avoid AV nodal blocking agents (adenosine, CCB, digoxin) in patients with pre-excitation and atrial fibrillation as they may cause paradoxical increase in ventricular response.
