The Concomitant Use of Calcium and Diltiazem for Rapid Atrial Fibrillation
Posted by Marco Torres on
Background: Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter with rapid ventricular rate (AF/AFL with RVR) are the most common subtypes of SVT, comprising a large number of ED visits in aging populations. Currently, rhythm and rate control are the mainstays of therapy in acute settings. One common strategy for rate control in stable patients is the use of non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers. These agents, verapamil and diltiazem, decrease ventricular rate but also have an effect on vascular smooth muscle, leading to a drop in blood pressure. Hypotension in these patients can complicate management. One proposed method of decreasing the incidence of hypotension when treating Afib or Aflutter is administering IV calcium prior to non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers. Currently, the infusion of IV calcium before diltiazem is not well understood, and more studies have focused on administering IV calcium prior to verapamil than diltiazem.
