  The primary treatment during an episode of atrial tachycardia is considered to be rate control using atrioventricular (AV) nodal blocking agents (eg, beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers). […] In the setting of hemodynamic compromise due to SVT or known atrial tachycardia in which a drug may be therapeutic, the ultra short-acting agent adenosine or the short-acting beta-blocker esmolol may be tried. […] Atrial tachycardia often self-terminates and may be nonsustained if the cause is addressed. Beta-blockers may, to some extent, help decrease the frequency of episodes and reduce symptoms by decreasing AV nodal conduction to the ventricles. […] Prevention of MAT is best accomplished through prevention of respiratory failure. In addition, patients require careful monitoring of all electrolyte disordersnamely, hypokalemia and hypomagnesemiaand of drug therapy (in particular, digoxin therapy). […] Prophylactic use of amiodarone has proved to be successful in preventing MAT after coronary artery surgery in patients with COPD.

  Beta-blockers are commonly used medications for cardiovascular diseases. Beta-blockers are effective antiarrhythmic agents, and they are class 2 agents in the Vaughan-Williams classification. […] Considering its positive effects on cardiac pathologies, nebivolol can be involved in both direct and indirect treatment of rhythm disorders. […] The SNS and PNS provide autonomic control by interacting with the intrinsic and extrinsic cardiac nervous systems. […] Therefore, beta blockers that prevent sympathetic activation and, in resistant cases, sympathetic denervation are effective treatment methods for the prevention and treatment of various arrhythmias. […] Beta-blockers are the only agents consistently proven to reduce the incidence of life-threatening arrhythmias and SCD. […] The prophylactic use of beta-blockers is recommended for the prevention of postoperative AF development following cardiac surgery.

  Nebivolol was found to be as effective as metoprolol in preventing postoperative AF in patients who underwent coronary artery bypass surgery. […] Beta-blockers are recommended for ventricular rate control in patients with macro-reentrant-type atrial tachycardia. […] Beta-blockers should also be used in patients with genetic mutations that cause a long QT interval, even if the baseline QT interval is within the normal range. […] Nebivolol has been shown to reduce ryanodine receptor-mediated calcium release, which plays an important role in arrhythmogenesis. […] Although clinical data are limited, we believe that nebivolol might be a promising agent for the treatment of arrhythmias because of its unique pharmacological actions in addition to its effective and specific beta-1 adrenoreceptor-blocking action.

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK542235/

  Atrial tachycardia is an arrhythmia with electrical impulses originating within the atria. […] Initial management of focal atrial tachycardia should focus on addressing underlying causes: treating acute illness, cessation of stimulants, stress reduction, appropriately managing digoxin toxicity, or chronic disease management. The ventricular rate is controllable with the use of beta blockers or calcium channel blockers. […] Focal atrial tachycardia persistence can be mitigated by the avoidance of caffeinated products and other stimulant substances. […] Overall, focal atrial tachycardia is a benign arrhythmia. […] Proper management of atrial tachycardia requires an interprofessional team approach, including physicians, specialists, specialty-trained nurses, and pharmacists, all collaborating across disciplines to achieve optimal patient results.

  Atrial fibrillation (AF) is often treated with antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) or catheter ablation. […] It has previously been shown that, in this subset of patients, cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation followed by the continuation of the AAD regimen has an unusually high rate of successfully maintaining sinus rhythm. […] This strategy, however, is underrecognized in current clinical practice, and no large prospective trials of this method of treatment exist at this time. […] We suggest that consideration of this approach for treating AF, particularly in patients with new-onset or paroxysmal AF, should be given as long as there are no contraindications to using a class Ic antiarrhythmic in a particular case. […] A hybrid approach to the treatment of AF has been suggested that involves CTI ablation and the maintenance of the antiarrhythmic medication for patients who initially convert from AF to typical AFL. This strategy has been shown to have a high success rate in limited studies. […] We suggest that conversion from AF to AFL with class IC antiarrhythmics selects for a subset of the population in whom these medications are highly effective.

  Effective prevention and management of potential causes – eg, hypertension, obesity, excessive alcohol intake, hyperthyroidism and obstructive sleep apnoea.

The CHA2DS2-VASc stroke risk score should be used to assess stroke risk and the HAS-BLED score to assess bleeding risk in people with atrial flutter. […] Adequate anticoagulation has been shown to decrease thromboembolic complications in patients with chronic atrial flutter and in patients undergoing cardioversion. […] Long-term anticoagulation is therefore advised for patients with persistent or paroxysmal atrial flutter where stroke risk is considered significant when balanced against bleeding risk as per the details in the Atrial Fibrillation article. […] After successful catheter ablation, if sinus rhythm is still present, NICE guidance suggests anticoagulation should be continued indefinitely. […] Cardioversion of atrial flutter presents similar risks to cardioversion of atrial fibrillation and therefore requires similar anticoagulation.
