2. Flecainide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flecainide

   Flecainide is used in the treatment of many types of supraventricular tachycardias, including AV nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW). It also has limited use in the treatment of certain forms of ventricular tachycardia (VT). In particular, flecainide has been useful in the treatment of ventricular ...

3. 8 Common Cardiovascular Diseases for Men & How to Prevent Them

   www.aol.com/8-common-cardiovascular-diseases-men...

   Tachycardia. A faster-than-normal heart rate. Bradycardia. A slower-than-normal heartbeat. Atrial fibrillation (A-fib). An irregular and often very fast heart rate. Premature ventricular ...

4. Ventricular tachycardia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_tachycardia

   Ventricular tachycardia (V-tach or VT) is a cardiovascular disorder in which fast heart rate occurs in the ventricles of the heart. [3] Although a few seconds of VT may not result in permanent problems, longer periods are dangerous; and multiple episodes over a short period of time are referred to as an electrical storm.

5. Antiarrhythmic agent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiarrhythmic_agent

   Antiarrhythmic agents, also known as cardiac dysrhythmia medications, are a class of drugs that are used to suppress abnormally fast rhythms (tachycardias), such as atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia and ventricular tachycardia. Many attempts have been made to classify antiarrhythmic agents.

6. Heart failure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_failure

   In considering therapeutic options, excluding reversible causes is of primary importance, including thyroid disease, anemia, chronic tachycardia, alcohol use disorder, hypertension, and dysfunction of one or more heart valves. Treatment of the underlying cause is usually the first approach to treating heart failure.

7. Verapamil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verapamil

   Verapamil is also used for the treatment of angina (chronic stable, vasospastic or Prinzmetal variant), unstable angina (crescendo, preinfarction), and for the prevention of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT). [18] Verapamil is a class-IV antiarrhythmic and more effective than digoxin in controlling ventricular rate. [19]

8. Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catecholaminergic...

   Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is an inherited genetic disorder that predisposes those affected to potentially life-threatening abnormal heart rhythms or arrhythmias. The arrhythmias seen in CPVT typically occur during exercise or at times of emotional stress, and classically take the form of bidirectional ...

9. Vagal maneuver - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagal_maneuver

   Whereas the modified Valsalva maneuver is most effective in adults, [5] cold water immersion may be preferred as a safe, effective, and non-invasive treatment for pediatric SVT. [6] Vagal maneuvers may be used to terminate hemodynamically stable ventricular tachycardia. [7] [8] Various vagal maneuvers are suggested for the elimination of ...
