Successful Treatment of Supraventricular Tachycardia with Metoprolol, a Cardioselective Beta Blocker

Seymour I. Hepner, Enrico Davoli

Abstract

Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia is a common problem in infancy and childhood. Past treatment has included digitalis and nonselective beta blockers (propranolol). We describe a new mode of therapy with a cardioselective beta blocker (metoprolol) that may be of use in patients resistant to standard therapy.
