PERceptions of Diltiazem Versus ADEnosine for Treatment of Supraventricular Tachycardia in the Emergency Department
Recruiting
Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a dysrhythmia characterized rapid heart rate, typically with rapid onset. SVT accounts for over 50,000 emergency department visits per year. Of patients with regular, narrow-complex SVT, the mainstay of therapy includes adenosine and diltiazem. Adenosine is recommend by American and European guidelines as first-line therapy, however adenosine carries unique side effects that are potentially distressing to patients, including: "feeling of impending death or d...
