Comparing diltiazem and adenosine for SVT in the ER
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were treated in the emergency department for a fast heart rhythm called SVT (supraventricular tachycardia).
- You are 18 years or older.
- You received either adenosine or diltiazem (medicines given through an IV to slow your heart) during that visit or on the way to the hospital.
- You are not currently having a medical emergency that affects your ability to answer questions.
- You are not pregnant, not in jail or prison, and you speak English.

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 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.
This trial tests two different medicines to slow a rapid heartbeat caused by atrial fibrillation or flutter. You will receive either an oral pill (bisoprolol) or intravenous (IV) medication (diltiazem) to see which works better and faster.
This trial compares two common heart medicines (verapamil and metoprolol) to see which works better for people with a fast, irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation. If you come to the Emergency Department with a heart rate of 110 or more and are stable, you may be able to join.
This study compares two medications (atenolol and ivabradine) to see which one better controls a fast heart rate (tachycardia) in people with treatment-resistant schizophrenia who are taking clozapine. The goal is to find a safer way to manage this side effect.
This study compares two ways of giving adenosine during a heart catheterization to check how well the small blood vessels in your heart work. Adenosine is a medicine that helps doctors measure blood flow in the tiny vessels, and the goal is to see if one method works better or is more comfortable.
