Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a dysrhythmia characterized rapid heart rate, typically with rapid onset. SVT accounts for over 50,000 emergency department visits per year. Of patients with regular, narrow-complex SVT, the mainstay of therapy includes adenosine and diltiazem. Adenosine is recommend by American and European guidelines as first-line therapy, however adenosine carries unique side effects that are potentially distressing to patients, including: "feeling of impending death or doom", flushing, anxiety, shortness of breath, and chest discomfort. Diltiazem does not carry this side effect profile, but has typically been reserved as second-line treatment due to side effects of low blood pressure associated with this class of medications. Diltiazem and adenosine have not been well studied head-to-head to compare safety and efficacy of their treatment for SVT. The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of adenosine and diltiazem for SVT in the ED (as completed through chart review of specific patient-level outcomes) and capture patient and clinician perspectives of medication satisfaction (through administration of questionnaires).
This is a small, pilot study with a primary goal of assessing patient perceptions of two medication treatments for supraventricular tachycardia in adult patients treated in the Emergency Department.
NODE-202 is a Phase 2, multicenter, multinational, single dose, open-label, 2-part, sequential design study in pediatric patients with an established diagnosis of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) presenting with a symptomatic episode of PSVT. In Part 1, at least 30 patients aged 12 to \<18 years will be enrolled and treated with etripamil nasal spray (NS). Efficacy, safety, tolerability and PK (for at least 12 patients) will be assessed after administration of 70 mg etripamil NS (Part 1A). At least 18 subsequent patients will be enrolled and treated with the etripamil NS with the dose determined by the Pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis and will undergo efficacy and safety/tolerability assessments (Part 1B). In Part 2, at least 30 patients aged 6 to \<12 years will be enrolled and treated with etripamil NS at a dose selected based on appropriate body size-based modeling, as well as efficacy, safety/tolerability, and PK data collected in Part 1. Efficacy, safety, tolerability and PK (for at least 12 patients) will be assessed after administration of etripamil NS (Part 2A). At least 18 subsequent patients will be enrolled and treated with the etripamil NS with the dose determined by the PK analysis and will undergo efficacy and safety/tolerability assessments (Part 2B). The study will include the following visits: A Screening Visit, A Treatment Visit, , and A Follow-Up/End of Study Visit.
The goal of this study is to understand the effects of early mobilization after a Z stitch procedure in patients undergoing certain heart-related treatments. The investigators want to find out if allowing patients to move around sooner after their procedure can improve their satisfaction and potentially lead to earlier discharge from the hospital. Type of Study: Clinical Trial Participant Population/Health Conditions: Patients aged 18-99 undergoing specific heart procedures such as atrial fibrillation treatment, atrial flutter treatment, supraventricular tachycardia treatment, diagnostic electrophysiology studies, AV node ablation, or Watchman device placement. Main Questions: Does early mobilization (getting up and moving around sooner) after the Z stitch procedure improve patient satisfaction? Participants will be divided into two groups, and researchers will compare those who have one hour of bedrest with those who have four hours of bedrest after the Z stitch procedure. The investigators want to see if the shorter bedrest period leads to higher patient satisfaction.
