Effects of intravenous propranolol on cardiovascular hemodynamics during supraventricular tachycardia

Am J Cardiol. 1996 Aug 1;78(3):347-50. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9149(96)00292-5.

Abstract

Hemodynamic variables were evaluated in 10 patients during supraventricular tachycardia before and after administration of intravenous propranolol. The drug markedly worsened the already compromised hemodynamic pattern of supraventricular tachycardia.
