Article Synopsis
- This study investigated if intravenous calcium pretreatment can help prevent hypotension caused by diltiazem in adults with atrial fibrillation or flutter and fast heart rates.
- A total of 217 patients participated, being assigned to either a placebo group or groups receiving different doses of IV calcium before treatment with diltiazem.
- Results showed that calcium pretreatment was effective in preventing hypotension without reducing the effectiveness of diltiazem in controlling heart rates, and no significant side effects were noted between groups.
