Final answer:
For stable, regular, monomorphic, and wide-complex tachycardia, the treatment of choice is often antiarrhythmic drugs such as amiodarone, not adenosine, atropine, or aspirin. Adenosine is commonly used for narrow-complex tachycardia and atropine for bradycardia. Aspirin is not an antiarrhythmic and is used in the treatment of heart attacks.
Step-by-step explanation:
If a patient presents with stable tachycardia that is regular, monomorphic, and wide-complex (QRS duration greater than 0.12 seconds), careful consideration for treatment should be made based on the latest clinical guidelines and the specific clinical scenario. While each of the listed medications can be used in different cardiac situations, they are not all suitable for the same type of arrhythmia.
For stable, wide-complex tachycardia, the immediate treatment of choice is often an antiarrhythmic such as amiodarone. Besides amiodarone, procainamide or sotalol can also be considered if amiodarone is not available. These medications can help to restore a normal rhythm or slow the heart rate in various arrhythmias, including this type of tachycardia. Adenosine is commonly used in cases with narrow-complex tachycardia for diagnosis and sometimes for treatment, but its utility in stable wide-complex tachycardia is more limited and should be approached with caution, especially when the diagnosis of the underlying rhythm is uncertain, as it may precipitate a more dangerous arrhythmia. Atropine is used in the treatment of bradycardia (slow heart rate), not tachycardia. Aspirin is not an antiarrhythmic medication but is used in the event of a heart attack to help prevent clot formation. Therefore, the most suitable option from the list provided for stable, regular, monomorphic, wide-complex tachycardia is to administer amiodarone.
