Title: Chinical Value of Intravenous Amiodarone for Fast Atrial Fib-rillation in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome
Abstract: Objective To determine the value of amiodarone in patients of acute coronary syndrome(ACS) with fast atrial fibrillation(Af).Methods 150mg amiodarone was intravenously load in 32 ACS patients with new fast atrial fibrillation,then continuously pumped amiodarone.The efficacy of amiodarone to reversion the atrial fibrillation,control the ventricular rate,change blood pressure and the side effecst of amiodarone were observed.Results 24 case(75% patients) were reversed to sinus rhythm.The ventricular rate at 30min,6 hour,24 hour was respectively(118±1)beats/min,(84±10)beats/min,(73±9)beats/min,which were significantly lower than the heart rate of(128±13)beats/min when the amiodarone was administered.Blood pressure did not show significant difference(P0.05).Sinus bradycardia,Sinus bradycardia and Ⅰ° AV block was respectively observed in one patient and recover normal when amiodarone was stopped.Conclusion Intravenous amiodarone is a safe and effective clinic measure to fast atrial fibrillation patients with ACS.
