Does flecainide terminate and prevent recurrence of atrial tachycardia?
Flecainide demonstrates potential efficacy in terminating and preventing the recurrence of atrial tachycardia in a small case series.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support flecainide in select atrial tachycardia cases; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.
Intravenous flecainide successfully terminated atrial tachycardia in three patients. Maintenance treatment with oral flecainide prevented the recurrence of tachycardia for up to three years. These results suggest an additional use for flecainide which should be further explored.
