Cardiovert if its been going on for over 48 hours....before that, you try medical management with rate control
Of previous to the 48 hours, you'll try medical management and anticoagulation is a must in A-Fib even after cardioversion. So..Acute: 1. Rate Control 2. Anticoagulate to INR of 2-3 3. Cardiovert immediately if hemodynamically unstable Chronic: 1. Anticoagulate 2. Cardiovert 3. Continue Anticoagulation for another few weeks At least that's my concept of it...correct me if i'm wrong. |
