[SCD-FORUM] 111E Can we use diazepam as a regular drug to help stoping PSVT attack?

[SCD Symposium]

Congratulations to the SCD symposium in internet!
I am a doctor in emergency department,and i often deal with patients with PSVT attacks.Some patients don't like to have RFCA,and they suffer from PSVT from time to time.Now a case:male,42.He sufftered from PSVT 2-3 times one year for more than 5 years.He didn't use any drugs after attacks.This time the ECG shows classical PSVT.HR 150bpm.After using 210mg propafenon,HR decreased to 136bpm,but PSVT still existed.Then we use ATP 20mg,6 minutes passed,it didn't work well either.The patient was so worrying,so we gave him diazepam 10mg iv,1minute after using diazepam,ECG shows sinus rhythm,HR 76bpm.
My question is:Whether or not we can use diazepam as a regular drug  to help stoping PSVT attack  if there is no restrictions to the patient?
Thanks for your answering!
