Digoxin usually only helpful when already c a block (i.e. AF c 2:1 block) NOT c an SVT c 1:1 conduction.
*A-fib/flutter
**Rate control: Dilt, MTP, Digoxin
***Dig usually only helpful when already w/ a block (e.g. 2:1)
**Cardioversion: Sotalol, electric


AFib: IV Beta-block> IV digoxin > CCB (diltiazem) > Type IA to covert to SR


AFlutter: same as AFib
*AVNRT
 
**Vagal, adenosine, BBs, CCBs, dixogin, electric, procainamide, amio, sotalol
AT: same as AFib
 
AVNRT: CSM > adenosine > then Beta blockers > CCB > Digoxin PO. Consider eCV (not if low LVEF), ?procanamide , amio, sotalol.
 
Junctional: remove the cause, Amiodarone(, Beta-blocker, CCB).
 
ST: B blocker > CCB > Digoxin
 
MAT: Verapamil/ Diltiazem. CAREFUL of Beta-blockers b/c usually in pts with pulmonary dz. Amiodarone


*Junctional
**Remove the cause, Amiodarone, BBs, CCBs


*MAT
**Dilt
**BBs often contraindicated (MAT occurs frequently w/ pulm dz)

Diagnosis

Differential A.Rhythm A.rate A.morphology Vagal/adenosine
A Fib Irregular >350 Fibrillatory (V1) Incr. AV block
A Flutter Regular >250, <350 Sawtooth (II, III, AVF) Incr. AV block
A Tach Regular >100 Neg in II, III, AVF Nothing
AVNRT Regular >160 No p's --> NSR
Junctional Regular >100, <150 No p's or retrograde p's Nothing
MAT Irregular >100 >3 p shapes Transient slowing
Sinus Regular

>100 <180

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)
