Efficacy of Adenosine as Compared to Verapamil in Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia (pSVT) Patients

Adenosine is a medication belonging to class V antidysrhythmics, used to treat a type of irregular heart rhythm disorder known as paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT)

Verapamil is in a class of medications called calcium-channel blockers. It works by relaxing the blood vessels so the heart does not have to pump as hard. It also increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart and slows electrical activity in the heart to control the heart rate.
