Flutter vs coarse AFib: determine atrial regularity by taking big bites
Management
See also ACLS: Tachycardia
A fib/flutter
- Rate control: Dilt, MTP, Digoxin
- Dig usually only helpful when already with a block (e.g. 2:1)
- Cardioversion: Sotalol, electric
- See Atrial Fibrillation (RVR)
AVNRT (SVT)
- Vagal, adenosine, beta-blockers, calcium-channel blockers, dixogin, electric, procainamide, amio, sotalol
Junctional
Remove the cause, Amiodarone, beta-blockers, calcium-channel blockers
MAT
- Diltiazem
- Beta blockers often contraindicated (MAT occurs frequently with pulmonary disease)
