Intravenous Amiodarone versus Digoxin in Atrial Fibrillation Rate Control; a Clinical Trial
Introduction: Treatment of rapid ventricular response arterial fibrillation (rapid AF) varies depending on the decision of the in-charge physician, condition of the patient, availability of the drug, and the treatment protocol of the hospital.

Failure of diltiazem to prevent 1:1 conduction of atrial flutter: a case report
Background Atrial flutter with 1:1 conduction to the ventricles is a dangerous cardiac arrhythmia. Contemporary guidelines recommend atrioventricular nodal blocking agents should be co-administered with class 1C anti-arrhythmics, as prophylaxis against 1:
