The electrophysiologic properties of SUN1165 and its suppressive effect on supraventricular tachycardia were assessed in 14 patients, nine with atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (AVRT) and five with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT). This new agent prolonged the PR interval and QRS duration but did not alter the QT interval or the corrected QT interval. It did not alter the sinus cycle length or sinus node recovery time. The drug prolonged the AH interval, HV interval, and intraatrial conduction time but did not change the effective refractory periods of the right atrium or right ventricle. SUN1165 prevented the induction of tachycardia in six of nine patients with AVRT by a complete retrograde block of the accessory pathway and prevented AVNRT in four of five patients by a complete retrograde block of the fast atrioventricular nodal pathway as well. We conclude that SUN1165 is very effective in preventing AVRT or AVNRT. Larger studies with more patients are warranted.

Current guidelines recommend cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) programming, including faster detection rates, longer detection durations, and strict discrimination for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) to prevent unnecessary ICD treatment. This delayed-style ICD programming could lead to a rise in the possibility of VF undersensing. To avoid this risk, an innovative algorithm known as VF Therapy Assurance (VFTA; Abbott, Sylmar, CA) has been developed.

Critical analysis of electrograms of any therapy delivery event is paramount to identify the etiology, specificity, and sensitivity of the programmed algorithms to differentiate supraventricular versus ventricular tachycardia, its effectiveness, and potential interventions to prevent recurrence. Besides the aspects mentioned above, this case delves into the potential limitations of existing algorithms and the adverse effects of anti-tachycardia pacing.

Background: Accessory pathways (AP) are associated with an increased risk of atrioventricular reentry tachycardia (AVRT), presenting as a wide QRS tachycardia if the mechanism is antidromic. Rarely, AVRT may not respond to adenosine, suggesting a duodromic mechanism if the patient has multiple APs. Herein, we present a case of a male patient with multiple APs, wide QRS complex tachycardia, and resistance to adenosine.

Background: While clinical indicators for synchronized cardioversion in regular supraventricular tachycardias are well-established, their application by prehospital emergency medical services (EMS) still needs to be explored.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the factors influencing the decision-making process of prehospital EMS personnel to perform synchronized cardioversion in adults with narrow QRS regular tachyarrhythmias.
Methods: This descriptive study included 598 paramedics actively engaged in prehospital EMS.
