Should not change practice for paroxysmal atrial flutter; hypothesis-generating for propranolol-quinidine combination pending controlled trials.
Does oral administration of propranolol and quinidine terminate paroxysmal atrial flutter?
The combination of oral propranolol and quinidine can rapidly terminate paroxysmal atrial flutter.
S Stern (1971) studied this question. Propranolol (30-80 mg) combined with quinidine successfully terminated four attacks of paroxysmal atrial flutter in three patients within 10 to 60 minutes.
