Reversal of atrial tachycardia with intravenous administration of verapamil in a dog.

Abstract
Intravenous administration of verapamil at low dosage was effective in reversal of atrial tachycardia of unknown origin in a dog. The sinus rhythm remained normal for 24 hours before it reverted back to atrial tachycardia. A second IV administration of verapamil was effective in reversal of the atrial tachycardia, and a tapering dosage of verapamil, PO, was used to maintain normal sinus rhythm.
