#Afib with RVR (stable)
Acute management of stable Afib with RVR with IV Metoprolol tartrate 5mg IV q15min x3 or Diltiazem 10-20mg IV q15min x3 may be warranted. Amiodarone can be used if the patient's blood pressure may not support IV metop/dilt, althought it carries the thromboembolic risk of chemical cardioversion. If the patient is hemodynamically unstable, synchronized cardioversion is warranted, with subsequent anticoagulation depending on Afib chronicity and onset.
