title: [Efficacy of Cordichin in recurrent supraventicular tachycardia].
abstract: The effectiveness of oral Cordichin, a quinidine-verapamil combination, was evaluated in 11 patients with recurrent supraventricular tachycardias. The mechanism of the tachycardias was either AV nodal re-entry or atrial ectopic as documented by electrophysiologic studies. An arrhythmia suppression or a significant decrease of tachycardia attacks was seen in 8 of 11 patients. In 3 patients there was only a mild effect on the recurrence of tachycardias. Cordichin seems to be a valuable alternative drug in the treatment of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardias.
