Hello,
Thank you for query sir,
The acute attack is terminated by injectible Adenosine.
While further attacks are prevented by using either beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers.Diltiazem or Sotalol are usually used.
In patients (less than 2%) who are not relieved by it are further treated with electrophysiological studies followed by the ablative procedure.
