Assessment of antiarrhythmic drug efficacy in the treatment of supraventricular arrhythmias. 1986

G V Naccarelli, and A H Dougherty, and E Berns, and R L Rinkenberger

Few guidelines exist for judging the efficacy of antiarrhythmic drugs in patients with supraventricular arrhythmias. Useful definitions concerning the frequency and duration of supraventricular arrhythmias are offered, and complete and partial efficacy criteria are outlined for noninvasive electrocardiographic and invasive electrophysiologic techniques. Several open label, double-blind, parallel and crossover study designs are suggested for efficacy studies concerning the termination and prevention of supraventricular tachycardia. These recommendations are useful for designing new drug trials needed to evaluate properly the efficacy of antiarrhythmic agents in the treatment of various supraventricular arrhythmias.

D004562 Electrocardiography Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY. 12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead
