May support verapamil for SVT termination without added inotropy; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
Does intravenous verapamil alter haemodynamic recovery compared to electrical termination of supraventricular tachycardia in otherwise healthy patients?
Intravenous verapamil effectively terminates supraventricular tachycardia without causing additional negative inotropic effects compared to electrical termination.
Schlepper et al. (1978) studied this question.
