Detailed Description

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the primary clinical problem in 3.3% to 10.0 % emergency department (ED) admissions. Rate control is an integral part of the management of symptomatic tachycardic AF patients.

According to the recent guidelines beta-blockers, digoxin, the calcium channel blockers diltiazem and verapamil, amiodarone or combination therapy should be considered for rate control. Haemodynamic side-effects in particular hypotension may occur. Heart rate and blood pressure behavior in an ED population during rate control therapy in patients with tachycardic atrial fibrillation will be analysed.
