Because antidromic AVRTs can be impossible to distinguish from VT, it should be treated similarly as other [[Wide-complex tachycardi|wide-complex tachycardia]]<nowiki/>s. Haemodynamically unstable paroxysmal tachycardias should be treated with synchronised electrical [[cardioversion]]. Stable patients should receive antiarrhythmics. AV-nodal blocking agents like [[adenosine]] are contraindicated as they may precipitate [[pre-excited atrial fibrillation]].
