MAST conversion of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Academic Article Case Study uri icon

abstract

  • A 48-year-old man with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome presented with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. Prior episodes had required inpatient drug therapy or cardioversion. Attempts at conversion to normal sinus rhythm with vagal maneuvers were unsuccessful. Inflation of military antishock trousers resulted in rapid termination of the arrhythmia and avoidance of hospitalization.
