Implication

Consider JET in adult tachycardias; extends pediatric reports but leaves open optimal management strategies.

Structured PICO

Population

5 adults with rapid symptomatic paroxysmal junctional tachycardia (rate 120 to 250, accompanied by periods of atrioventricular dissociation and narrow QRS complexes)

Intervention

Clinical and electrophysiologic evaluation, and treatment with beta-blockers, procainamide, or catheter ablation

Outcome

Clinical and electrophysiologic characterization and response to therapy

Junctional ectopic tachycardia, previously described mainly in infants, can also occur in adults and is driven by catecholamine-sensitive abnormal automaticity that responds to beta-blockers.
