Information or suggested reading is gratefully requested 
on the topic of paroxymal atrial tachycardia (intermittent rapid pulse).
I am especially interested in the relationship between diet and
exercise in the treatment of this condition. If the heart sustains a pulse
in the 180-220 range for a few seconds periodically, will exercise make
it better equipped to handle the work? If the PAT's are caused by an
alternate or accessory node, how can drug therapy help?

Thank you,
Susan Micciche
