Overview
Management of Orthodromic AVRT
Acute Treatment of Orthodromic AVRT
Class I |
"1.Vagal maneuvers are recommended for acute treatment in patients with orthodromic AVRT "(Level of Evidence: B-R) " |
"2.Adenosine is beneficial for acute treatment in patients with orthodromic AVRT "(Level of Evidence: B-R) " |
"3.Synchronized cardioversion should be performed for acute treatment in hemodynamically unstable patients with
AVRT if vagal maneuvers or adenosine are ineffective or not feasible "(Level of Evidence: B-NR) " |
"4.Synchronized cardioversion is recommended for acute treatment in hemodynamically stable patients with AVRT
when pharmacological therapy is ineffective or contraindicated "(Level of Evidence: B-NR) " |
"5.Synchronized cardioversion should be performed for acute treatment in hemodynamically unstable patients with
pre-excited AF"(Level of Evidence: B-NR ) " |
"6.Ibutilide or intravenous procainamide is beneficial for acute treatment in patients with pre-excited AF
who are hemodynamically stable "(Level of Evidence: C-LD) " |
Class IIa |
"1.Intravenous diltiazem, verapamil "(Level of Evidence: B-R) or beta blockers can be effective for acute treatment in patients with orthodromic AVRT who do not have preexcitation
on their resting ECG during sinus rhythm "(Level of Evidence: C-LD) " |
Class IIb |
"1.Intravenous beta blockers, diltiazem, or verapamil might be considered for acute treatment in patients with orthodromic
AVRT who have pre-excitation on their resting ECG and have not responded to other therapies"(Level of Evidence:B-R) " |
Class III(harm) |
"1.Intravenous digoxin, intravenous amiodarone, intravenous or oral beta blockers, diltiazem, and verapamil are
potentially harmful for acute treatment in patients with pre-excited AF ( "(Level of Evidence: C-LD) " |
