PO of metoprolol or diltiazem, whichever broke the Afib RVR. Goal HR 110. If persistent, give amiodarone IV bolus 150mg and start amiodarone drip 1mg/min.
For many ED physicians, diltiazem has become the preferred agent to achieve rate control of AFIB with rapid ventricular rate (AFIB-RVR). Diltiazem is effective in treating AFIB-RVR by slowing conduction through the atrioventricular node (AV) and by prolonging AV node refractoriness.
Comparing AFib and AFib with RVR. Though atrial fibrillation and AFib with RVR share the same irregular heartbeat, they are distinct in their manifestations. While atrial fibrillation is marked by the atria quivering or fibrillating, atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response is a subtype of this condition which signifies a rapid heart

If resolves, start PO of metoprolol or diltiazem, whichever broke the Afib RVR. Goal HR 110. If persistent, give amiodarone IV bolus 150mg and start amiodarone drip 1mg/min. Unstable atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response (unstable Afib with RVR): proceed directly to synched cardioversion; Chest Pain/Acute Coronary Syndrome
Some cases of Afib involve atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response (RVR). amiodarone; dofetilide; dronedarone; flecainide; propafenone

Keep them coming 😊
BTW. Standalone CHF taking down an otherwise healty person like that??? No afib, no obesity, no alcoholism, no bundle blockage or left side failure??
Thank you for sharing this with us.
First, the comment:
Title: Risk Versus Reward is marginalizing abuse
Comments:
The behavior of Doctor Moreau goes against everything that the bdsm symbolizes. The basis for all d/s relationships is trust and respect. Moreau ignores this completly and abuses her position. There is no redemption for this.
If you're somehow trying to repair the relationship between her and the MC than you're actively perpetuating the normalization of domestic abuse. The only place where Dr Moreau should is a prison.
My reply:
Many authors write stories that feature villains. This does not mean that the authors agree with the actions of these villains. If you need proof, the ebook of RvR is available in its entirety on my web site (see my profile for URL and username/password.) Please feel free to skip ahead to the epilogue to discover Doctor Moreau's fate.
