Article Synopsis
- Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common heart rhythm disorder in the U.S. that affects millions, and it can lead to serious complications like rapid ventricular response (RVR).
- An umbrella review of existing systematic reviews found IV diltiazem was more effective than IV metoprolol for controlling heart rate and reducing ventricular rates in patients experiencing AF with RVR.
- However, the use of IV diltiazem was also associated with a higher risk of hypotension, indicating the need for further research to evaluate the balance between efficacy and safety for these treatments.
