    This document provides information on medications and treatments for various cardiac arrhythmias including: - Sinus bradycardia is treated with atropine or a pacemaker. - Sinus tachycardia can be treated with beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, or CNS depressants. - Atrial fibrillation is treated with digoxin, amiodarone, quinidine, or cardioversion. - Ventricular tachycardia with a pulse is treated with amiodarone, lidocaine, or procainamide while pulseless ventricular tachycardia requires defibrillation, epinephrine, amiodarone, lidocaine, and magnesium.
