Normal Transient slowing

Flutter vs coarse AFib: determine atrial regularity by taking big bites

Treatment

  • A-fib/flutter
    • Rate control: Dilt, MTP, Digoxin
      • Dig usually only helpful when already w/ a block (e.g. 2:1)
    • Cardioversion: Sotalol, electric


  • AVNRT
    • Vagal, adenosine, BBs, CCBs, dixogin, electric, procainamide, amio, sotalol
  • Junctional
    • Remove the cause, Amiodarone, BBs, CCBs
  • MAT
    • Dilt
    • BBs often contraindicated (MAT occurs frequently w/ pulm dz)
