What is the Treatment of Sinoatrial Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia?
Sinoatrial nodal reentrant tachycardia (SANRT) is managed with an evidence-based acute-termination protocol. A structured approach defines the specific interventions and the sequence of their application.
Clinical goal: termination of the tachycardia
Acute termination is initiated with maneuvers that increase vagal tone — the full protocol specifies when and how additional therapeutic options are applied.

- Vagal maneuvers were performed in 5 patients, and the SANRT was terminated in all 5 patients.
- Intravenous administration of adenosine triphosphate (2.5–5.0 mg) terminated the tachycardia in all 15 patients.
- Termination with adenosine triphosphate or with maneuvers that increase the vagal tone.
