The significance of peri-operative tachycardic rhythm disorders for peri-operative cardiac mortality has not been definitively clarified. Nevertheless, the anaesthetist will be obliged to treat a tachyarrhythmia that leads to an impairment of the patient's haemodynamics, or is likely to make him/her susceptible to a threatening rhythm disturbance. In the vast majority of cases, causal treatment of the arrhythmia will elicit a positive response. This appears to be of particular importance in view of the fact that drug treatment is always associated with considerable risks. All antiarrhythmic medications are potentially pro-arrhythmic and most have a myocardio-depressive effect. After introducing a number of important intravenously administrable anti-arrhythmic agents, the diagnosis and medical treatment of sinus tachycardia, atrial flutter, atrial flimmer, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardias, WPW syndrome and ventricular tachycardias (including ''torsades de point'') are discussed.
