Back to the case • QUESTION 1 • Therapy/Utility • P: Elderly patients with acute, stable AF, but no structural heart disease presenting to the ED < 48 hours of onset • I: Rapid acting pharmacological agents safely titrated to effect • C: Alternative regimens safely titrated to effect • O: Likelihood of rate control or cardioversion, hospital admission, complications of uncontrolled AF, adverse reactions to drugs Practice Guidelines, Systematic Review, RCT, Non-randomized studies
Back to the case • QUESTION 2 • Prognosis/Likelihood • P: Elderly patients with acute, stable AF, but no structural heart disease presenting to the ED < 48 hours of onset • I: Observation over a 30-day period • C: N/A • O: Stroke, decompensated heart failure, MI, death Practice Guidelines, Systematic Review, Cohort, Control Arm of an RCT
