Abstract
Two cases of dilated cardiomyopathy with incessant supraventricular tachycardia were treated with beta-blockade. Propranolol at a dose of 30 mg per day in combination with diuretics and digitalis decreased atrial rate of tachycardia and the cardiac size in both cases. The careful administration of beta-blockade seems to be one of the choices for the treatment for atrial tachycardia associated with dilated cardiomyopathy.
