The primary treatment during a bout of atrial tachycardia is considered to be rate control using AV nodal blocking agents, such as beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers (see Treatment and Medication).
Rate control is typically more difficult for atrial flutter than for atrial fibrillation. Ventricular rate control can be achieved with drugs that block the AV node. IV calcium channel blockers (eg, verapamil and diltiazem) or beta blockers can be used, followed by initiation of oral agents.
