esmolol is a fast-acting, short lived b-blocker indicated for IV use...it is the MC one used in this situation, but only after the others.

before giving digoxin ... the new medicine on the market after trying adenocard (adenosine) at 6mg, 12 mg, 12 mg is then to put the person on a cardizem (diltizem) drip ... usually give a 20mg bolus followed at a 10mg/hr dose. Have to watch the person for the underlieing rhythm ... ie does the person have a-fib/a-flutter under the SVT that is causing the fast ectopic rhythm.
another question ... what is the reflex that can be initiated other than the Valsalva manuever?

reflex brady due to increase in intraAbd pressure, increase in arterial pressure, carotid sinus and aortic knuckle sensors respond.

[left]Drug of Choice for Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia is Adenosine. It blocks conduction through the AV Node, and is also useful for preventing AV Node arrhythmias. It does so by affecting K+ and Ca2+ current. Most likely increasing K+ efflux leading to hyperpolarization.[/left] [left]Source - Lilly Cardio Pathophysiology[/left]
