Efficacy of Adenosine as Compared to Verapamil in Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (pSVT) Patients
Sponsor: Rashid Latif Medical College
Summary
Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a term widely used to describe tachycardial dysrhythmias, paroxysmal SVT (PSVT) is a narrow term including only AV nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) and atrioventricular re-entrant tachycardia (AVRT), both of which can cause discomfort and, in some cases, life-threatening symptoms. Usually Carotid sinus massage is done to lower the pulse rate and after the standard time specific verapamil dose is administered. In this study after carotid sinus massage Conventional Valsalva or modified Valsalva maneuver will be randomly applied. In case, the normal sinus rhythm (NSR) is not achieved then verapamil of or adenosine dose will be administered to the patients after after taking the consent.

Adenosine
Adenosine is a medication belonging to class V antidysrhythmics, used to treat a type of irregular heart rhythm disorder known as paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT)
Verapamil Injection
Verapamil is in a class of medications called calcium-channel blockers. It works by relaxing the blood vessels so the heart does not have to pump as hard. It also increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart and slows electrical activity in the heart to control the heart rate.
