Reciprocating Tachycardia

Abnormally rapid heartbeats caused by reentrant conduction over the accessory pathways between the HEART ATRIA and the HEART VENTRICLES. The impulse can also travel in the reverse direction, as in some cases, atrial impulses travel to the ventricles over the accessory pathways and back to the atria over the BUNDLE OF HIS and the ATRIOVENTRICULAR NODE.
Also Known As:
Tachycardia, Reciprocating; Reciprocal Tachycardia; Tachycardia, Reciprocal; Reciprocal Tachycardias; Reciprocating Tachycardias; Tachycardias, Reciprocal; Tachycardias, Reciprocating

12/01/1975 - "Procaine amide therefore demonstrates electrophysiologic effects which would be beneficial for prevention or treatment of reciprocating tachycardias in the WPW syndrome. "
01/01/1995 - "Increasing the oral procainamide dose to achieve such plasma concentrations was successful in eliminating orthodromic reciprocating tachycardia, preventing heart failure, and returning Doppler indices of diastolic function to normal."
01/01/1983 - "Paradoxical effects of procainamide--facilitation of the induction of sustained reciprocating tachycardia after procainamide administration in Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome."
07/01/1985 - "We evaluated the efficacy of a single oral dose of procainamide to terminate paroxysmal tachycardia, when procainamide was taken shortly after onset of tachycardia, a regimen we have termed "periodic procainamide." In 12 patients (mean age 15 years) with non-life-threatening tachycardia (orthodromic reciprocating tachycardia, 8/12; ventricular tachycardia, 3/12; atrial flutter, 1/12) in whom intravenously administered procainamide (15 mg/kg at 1 mg/kg/min) terminated tachycardia, efficacy of a single oral dose of procainamide (25 mg/kg) to terminate tachycardia was tested during electrophysiologic study. "
04/01/2010 - "All patients treated with intravenous amiodarone or procainamide during 25 consecutive months for the following mechanisms of SVT were included: orthodromic reciprocating tachycardia, intra-atrial reentrant tachycardia, and ectopic atrial tachycardia; junctional ectopic tachycardia was excluded.
