==Background==
*Heart rate > 100 bpm
*Originates above the ventricles

==Clinical Features==
*Heart rate > 100 bpm
*May have:
**[[Palpitations]]
**[[Syncope]] or pre-syncope
**[[Chest pain]]
**[[Dyspnea]]
**[[Altered level of consciousness]]
**Delayed capillary refill

==Differential Diagnosis==
{{Tachycardia (narrow) DDX}}
{{Tachycardia (wide) DDX}}

==Evaluation==
[[File:Narrow Complex Atrial Tachycardias.jpg|thumb|Examples of '''narrow'''-complex tachycardias.]]
===Workup===
*[[ECG]]

===Diagnosis===
*Flutter vs coarse AFib: determine atrial regularity by taking big bites

==Management==
{{ACLS Narrow Regular Tachycardia}}
{{ACLS Narrow Irregular Tachycardia}}

===[[Atrial fibrillation with RVR]]/flutter===
*Rate control: [[Diltiazem]], [[metoprolol]], [[digoxin]]
**Dig usually only helpful when already with a block (e.g. 2:1)
*Cardioversion: [[Sotalol]], [[cardioversion|electric]]

===[[Junctional tachycardia]]===
*Treat underlying cause
*Consider:
**[[Amiodarone]]
**[[Beta-blocker]]
**[[Calcium-channel blocker]]

==Disposition==
*Stable patients without serious comorbid illness who are adequately rate or rhythm controlled can be discharged home with follow-up
*Patients with acute underlying cause may require admission
*Patients who cannot achieve asymptomatic rate or rhythm control may require admission
