ER heart drug showdown: which works better for racing heart?

NCT ID NCT06993038

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This small pilot study compares two common medications, adenosine and diltiazem, for treating a rapid heart rhythm called supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) in adults visiting the emergency department. The main goal is to see if it's possible to run a larger study by checking how many patients can be enrolled and complete the process. Twenty participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two drugs, and their experiences will be tracked.
