Does intravenous calcium arrest paroxysms in patients with auricular paroxysmal tachycardia?
Intravenous calcium successfully arrested auricular paroxysmal tachycardia and restored normal rhythm in 3 out of 5 cases in this early report.
Joseph B. Wolffe (1931) conducted a case report in Auricular paroxysmal tachycardia (n=5). Intravenous calcium was evaluated on Arrest of paroxysms. Intravenous calcium successfully arrested auricular paroxysmal tachycardia in 60% (3 of 5) of cases, immediately restoring normal rhythm.
