Title: The chinical value of intravenous amiodarone for fast atrial fibrillation in patients with acute myocardial infarction
Abstract: Objective: To determine the value of amiodarone in patients of acute myocardial infarction with fast atrial fibrillation.Methods: 150 mg amiodarone was intravenously load in 24 acute myocardial infarction 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: 18 patients were(about 75% patients) reversed to sinus rhythm.The ventricular rate at 30 minute、6 hour、24 hour was respectively(110±12)beats/min、(85±9)beats/min、(75±10)beats/min,which were significantly lower than the heart rate of(130±13)beats/min when the amiodarone was administered.Blood pressure did not change.Sinus bradycardia was observed in one patient and sinus arrest was observed in one patients.Conclusion: Intravenous amiodarone is a safe and effective clinic measure to fast atrial fibrillation patients with acute myocardial infarction.
