title: Use of verapamil to control an inappropriate chronic sinus tachycardia.
abstract: Sinus tachycardia is an expected physiologic response to endogenous catecholamine stimulation, although it may limit the use of exogenous agents. We report a case in which persistent sinus tachycardia occurring in a patient with severe bronchospastic pulmonary disease was effectively treated with verapamil.
