Objective We aimed to assess the effect of SGLT2i on arrhythmias by conducting a meta-analysis using data from randomized controlled trials(RCTs). Background Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have shown cardioprotective effects via multiple mechanisms that may also contribute to decrease arrhythmias risk.

What arrhythmia is present? Let's first consider the heart rate: with a heart rate of 194 beats/min, the heart rate is too low for atrial flutter (1:1) (except in patients who have been pre-treated with medication), and the rate would be unusually high for atrial flutter with 2:1 conduction.

The rhythm differential for narrow, regular, and tachycardic is sinus rhythm, SVT (encompassing AVNRT, AVRT, atrial tach, etc), and atrial flutter (another supraventricular rhythm which is usually considered separately from SVTs). Therefore this patient is either in some form of SVT or atrial flutter.

Re-entrant tachycardias (atrial flutter, PSVT, AVRT, VT) have constant regular heart rates, whereas sinus tachycardia will usually gradually change rate with differing conditions (for instance, after infusion of fluid and BP increase, sinus tach rate might decrease from 130 to 125, for instance). So there is a re-entrant rhythm.

There is atrial activity before every QRS, but that activity has negative polarity, so it is not sinus rhythm. There are clearly no flutter waves, so it is not atrial flutter (a "macro-reentrant" atrial tachycardia) Is it AVNRT originating at the superior pole of the AV node, resulting in a retrograde P-wave before the QRS?
