intravenous amiodarone versus digoxin in atrial fibrillation rate control; a clinical trial
introduction: treatment of rapid ventricular response arterial fibrillation (rapid af) varies depending on the decision of the in-charge physician, condition of the patient, availability of the drug, and the treatment protocol of the hospital. the present study was designed aiming to compare iv digoxin and amiodarone in controlling the heart rate of patients presenting to emergency department ...
متن کاملHeart Rate Dynamics and Clinical Episodes of Atrial Fibrillation
In animal models increased vagal outflow has been shown to play a major role in the initiation and the maintenance of atrial fibrillation (AF), but the role of the autonomic nervous system in the genesis and maintenance of clinical AF has not been well established. This research was designed to assess the role of the autonomic nervous system in the initiation, maintenance and recurrence of clin...
متن کاملRate control in atrial fibrillation.
Untreated atrial fibrillation is usually associated with a rapid, irregular ventricular response and is often accompanied by symptoms including palpitations, fatigue, dyspnea, and dizziness. It is widely accepted that slowing the ventricular response, both at rest and during activity, with the use of drugs that prolong the refractory period of the atrioventricular (AV) node (so-called rate-cont...
متن کاملRate control in atrial fibrillation.
Control of the heart rate (rate control) is central to atrial fibrillation management, even for patients who ultimately require control of the rhythm. We review heart rate control in patients with atrial fibrillation, including the rationale for the intervention, patient selection, and the treatments available. The choice of rate control depends on the symptoms and clinical characteristics of t...
متن کاملIs echocardiography valid and reproducible in patients with atrial fibrillation? A systematic review
Aims Echocardiography is vital in the routine assessment and management of atrial fibrillation (AF). We performed a systematic review of the validity and reproducibility of echocardiographic left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in AF, and optimal acquisition methods. Methods and results Online databases were searched for studies in patients with AF at the time of echocardiography ...
