Adenosine vs Verapamil for rapid heart rate
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two medicines, adenosine and verapamil, to see which works better for stopping a sudden fast heart rhythm called SVT. If you have an episode of SVT that is stable enough to not need emergency shock treatment, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a type of fast heartbeat called SVT that is stable (you are awake, blood pressure above 90, not needing emergency shock)
- You are alert and can agree to take part
- You can lie flat on your back without trouble breathing or pain in your legs when they are lifted
- You are not pregnant
- You have not had a heart attack in the last 7 days or current chest pain/ECG changes
- You do not have atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, or severe aortic valve narrowing

This study compares two medications, adenosine and diltiazem, to see which works better for treating a rapid heart rhythm called SVT (supraventricular tachycardia) in the emergency department. If you have a stable episode of SVT, this trial may help doctors find the best treatment for you.
This study compares two medications, verapamil and metoprolol, given in the emergency department to slow down a fast, irregular heartbeat caused by atrial fibrillation. It aims to find which medicine works better and is safer for patients like you.
This study compares how patients feel about two common medicines (adenosine and diltiazem) used to treat a fast heart rhythm called SVT in the emergency department. If you were treated for SVT in the ER, you may be able to share your experience through a survey.
This trial tests two medicines — one taken by mouth (bisoprolol) and one given through an IV (diltiazem) — to see which is better at safely slowing a too-fast heartbeat in people with atrial fibrillation or flutter. If you have this heart rhythm problem with a fast rate and are otherwise stable, the study might help find the most effective way to bring your heart under control.
This trial tests a medication called etripamil to see if it can quickly slow down a rapid heart rate during episodes of atrial fibrillation. It may help people who have frequent, long-lasting episodes with a fast heartbeat.
This study tests a treatment for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), a condition where the heart beats too fast. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and works well in children.
