Key result
Tachycardia management prioritizes assessing hemodynamic stability, utilizing prompt cardioversion for unstable patients, and vagal maneuvers or medications for stable narrow complex tachycardia.
This literature review summarizes the evaluation and management of tachycardia.
RCT findings on tachycardia may guide acute stabilization; leaves open optimal long-term strategies across etiologies.
Tachycardia is a term used to describe any abnormally elevated heart rate exceeding or equal to 100 beats per minute (bpm), it can occur as the result of a wide array of pathologies.
