A 22-year-old woman develops sudden palpitations while studying. Vitals: BP 118/76, HR 190, RR 18, Temp 37°C, SpO2 98% on room air. She remains hemodynamically stable with normal mental status. ECG reveals a regular narrow-complex tachycardia at 190 bpm with no visible delta waves. Serum electrolytes and troponin are normal. Vagal maneuvers and adenosine-resistant attempts fail to terminate the episode. Which medication most effectively acutely terminates this arrhythmia?

  1. A)Procainamide
  2. B)Epinephrine
  3. C)Atropine
  4. D)Magnesium sulfate
  5. E)AdenosineGABARITO
