[Diagnosis and treatment of paroxysmal tachycardia].
The practising physician's knowledge of paroxysmal attacks of tachycardia is frequently disappointing. In this article a description is given of mechanisms and possible sites of origin of tachycardia. This is followed by a discussion on the typical history and the findings in these patients. Lastly, therapeutic guidelines are given. A discussion of the electrocardiographic features of the different types of paroxysmal tachycardias falls outside the scope of this article.
