Quinidine may block SVT induction in select cases; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does quinidine prevent the induction of reentrant tachycardia in a patient with spontaneous supraventricular tachycardia?
Quinidine prolonged AV conduction time and refractory periods, preventing the induction of atrial reentry tachycardia via the AV junction in a patient with prolonged SVT.
Goldreyer et al. (1969) studied this question.
