Does intravenous verapamil cause hemodynamic decompensation in infants with supraventricular tachycardia and congestive cardiac failure?
Intravenous verapamil can cause severe hemodynamic decompensation requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation in infants with supraventricular tachycardia and congestive heart failure.
Epstein et al. (1985) conducted a case report in Supraventricular tachycardia and congestive cardiac failure (n=3). Verapamil was evaluated on Hemodynamic decompensation requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Intravenous verapamil administration in three infants with supraventricular tachycardia and congestive cardiac failure resulted in hemodynamic decompensation requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
