Reentrant Tachycardias: AV nodal blocking agents will typically terminate these
AV Nodal Reentry Tachycardia (see [[AV Nodal Reentry Tachycardia]])
AV Reentry Tachycardia (see [[AV Reentry Tachycardia]])
Reentrant Circuit Based in the Atrial Myocardium: AV nodal blocking agents will typically slow these, but not terminate them
Atrial Fibrillation (see [[Atrial Fibrillation]])
Atrial Flutter (see [[Atrial Flutter]])
Atrial Tachycardia (see [[Atrial Tachycardia]])
Automatic SVT’s: due to an excited automatic focus (not due to reentry)
Ectopic Atrial Tachycardia (see [[Atrial Tachycardia]])
Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia (MAT) (see [[Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia]])
Junctional Tachycardia: rare in adults
Wide-Complex Tachycardia
Classification by EKG Morphology
Narrow-Complex Tachycardias
Regular
Sinus Tachycardia
SVT -> AV Nodal Reentry Tachycardia (AVNRT)
SVT -> AV Reentry Tachycardia (AVRT)
Atrial Flutter
Atrial Tachycardia:
Irregular
Atrial Fibrillation (AF)

Atrial Flutter: occasionally (with variable AV block)
Wide-Complex Tachycardia
Regular

SVT with Aberrancy (see [[AV Nodal Reentry Tachycardia]], [[AV Reentry Tachycardia]])
Ventricular Paced Rhythms (see [[Pacemakers]])
Irregular
AF with Aberrancy (see [[Atrial Fibrillation]])
