Verapamil and Diltiazem slow conduction through the atrioventricular node and increase the atrioventricular nodal refractory period, which, in turn, results in the slowing of the ventricular response rate in atrial fibrillation or flutter or in the conversion of atrioventricular nodal reentry tachyarrhythmias to sinus rhythm by disruption of the timing of the reentry circuit.
Arch Inst Cardiol Mex. 66(6): 505-9,1996 observed with Diltiazem a reversion of SVPT in sinus rhythm in 27 (90%) of 30 patients, being 77,8% on 1st dose and 22,2% on 2nd dose.

Diltiazem hydrochloride, a benzothiazepine calcium-channel blocker, is an infrequent cause of a wide range of skin reactions, varying from the more common exanthematous rashes to severe cutaneous reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis [1, 2, 3].
The two primary metabolites of diltiazem are desacetyldiltiazem and desmethyldiltiazem, although as many as nine diltiazem metabolites have been identified, and total radioactivity measurements following a single intravenous dose of diltiazem suggests the presence of other unidentified metabolites [17].

 Diltiazem - AFF
Diltiazem, like verapamil, is a calcium-channel blocker that has the effect of lowering blood pressure, improving the blood flow to the heart, and also slowing conduction through the AV node.
This is the case, for example, with atrial fibrillation where diltiazem is combined with a beta blocker or with digoxin and additional effects on slowing AV nodal conduction occur.
Other adverse effects that may be seen with diltiazem include fluid retention manifested as swollen ankles or a feeling of being bloated, weight gain, constipation, and flushing.
