Based on the concept of the classic diving reflex, which produced bradycardia, a technique for treating uncomplicated, but symptomatic, paroxysmal atrial tachycardia was developed. This technique consists of facial immersion for 15 to 30 seconds in water at 10 C (50 F). Of ten patients 9 (90%) achieved rapid conversion without complications. This technique may be especially useful for those patients resistant to more conventional methods of inducing conversion of paroxysmal atrial tachycardia.
基于产生心动过缓的经典潜水反射概念，开发了一种治疗单纯性但有症状的阵发性房性心动过速的技术。该技术包括将面部浸入10摄氏度（50华氏度）的水中15至30秒。10名患者中有9名（90%）迅速转为正常心律且无并发症。对于那些对更传统的阵发性房性心动过速转复方法有抵抗的患者，该技术可能特别有用。
