Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Effects of a high dose intravenous bolus amiodarone in patients with atrial fibrillation and a rapid ventricular rate.
Amiodarone, given as intravenous bolus has not yet been studied in patients with atrial fibrillation and a high ventricular rate. ⋯ Amiodarone, given as an intravenous bolus is relatively safe and more effective than digoxin for heart rate control and conversion to sinus rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation and a rapid ventricular rate.
