   Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is an umbrella term for fast heart rhythms arising from the upper part of the heart. [2] This is in contrast to the other group of fast heart rhythms – ventricular tachycardia , which start within the lower chambers of the heart . [ 2 ]

4. 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.

5. Procainamide - Wikipedia

   Procainamide (PCA) is a medication of the antiarrhythmic class used for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.It is a sodium channel blocker of cardiomyocytes; thus it is classified by the Vaughan Williams classification system as class Ia.

6. Verapamil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verapamil

   Verapamil is used for controlling ventricular rate in supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and migraine headache prevention. [17]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).

7. Arrhythmia - Wikipedia

   Several groups of drugs slow conduction through the heart, without actually preventing an arrhythmia. These drugs can be used to "rate control" a fast rhythm and make it physically tolerable for the patient. [citation needed] Some arrhythmias promote blood clotting within the heart and increase the risk of embolus and stroke.

9. Potassium channel blocker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_channel_blocker

   Potassium channel blockers exhibit reverse use-dependent prolongation of the action potential duration. Reverse use dependence is the effect where the efficacy of the drug is reduced after repeated use of the tissue. [11] This contrasts with (ordinary) use dependence, where the efficacy of the drug is increased after repeated use of the tissue.
