May support adenosine for acute spontaneous SVT; leaves open confirmation in randomized trials.
Muñoz et al. (1984) studied acute spontaneous supraventricular tachycardia. Intravenous adenosine was evaluated on termination of acute spontaneous supraventricular tachycardia. Intravenous adenosine effectively terminated acute spontaneous supraventricular tachycardia in 80% (8 out of 10) of episodes.
