Landiolol (Rapiblyk) for Short-Term Rate Control in Supraventricular Tachycardia

The FDA has approved the intravenously administered beta1-adrenergic blocker landiolol (Rapiblyk – AOP) for short-term reduction of ventricular rate in adults with supraventricular tachycardia including atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. Esmolol (Brevibloc, and generics), another IV beta blocker, was approved earlier for the same indication.
