Response - NO
Brief Summary   Atrial fibrillation(AF) is the most common arrythmia encountered and treated by emergency physicians. Symptomatic relief and ventricular rate control are the primary therapeutic objectives in emergency management of acute AF, which can be achieved by either rate or rhythm control. We intend to conduct a study comparing the routes of administration of diltiazem - a calcium channel blocker in treating AF. This study will also asses occurance of adverse effects ,length of hospital/ emergency stay, need for other alternatives to achieve rate control as secondary outcomes. The study would be helpful in choosing the appropriate route of administration which determines the length of hospital stay, resource utilisation and level of monitoring required in emergency department.
