How to treat sinus tachycardia

First of all: those caused by physiological or extra cardiac factors do not need special treatment. The treatment of sinus tachycardia should mainly treat the primary disease, supplemented by symptomatic treatment when necessary. For sinus tachycardia caused by congestive heart failure, digitalis, diuretics and vasodilators should be used. The correction of sinus tachycardia is often used as one of the indexes to control left heart failure.

Second: the treatment of sinus tachycardia caused by non heart failure, such as sinus tachycardia caused by hyperthyroidism, the application of digitalis can not slow down the heart rate. Note: excessive digitalis can also cause sinus tachycardia. Patients with sinus tachycardia mainly caused by sympathetic excitation and catecholamine elevation can choose beta blockers and sedatives. In the use of drugs for treatment, must be under the guidance of the doctor medication.

Finally: in the treatment of patients with acute myocardial infarction, in the absence of definite cardiac insufficiency, when the sinus heart rate continues to be more than 110 beats / min, in order to slow down the heart rate, small doses of beta blockers such as oral atenolol or calcium antagonists such as oral diltiazem can be used temporarily, once every 8-12 hours when necessary. Sinus tachycardia secondary to left heart failure should be mainly treated with heart failure.
