It is characterized by an irregular and often rapid heartbeat (see the first image belo...
The objective of this study was to compare sustained rate control with intravenous (IV) diltiazem vs. IV metoprolol in acute treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) with rapid ventricular rate (RVR) in the emergency department (ED). Methods This retrospective chart review at a large, academic medi...
