| |
| *Particularly useful when A-fib a/w exercise, after acute MI, or w/ thyrotoxicosis
| |
| *Also long-term beta blocker improves patient survival whereas non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers may even worsen outcomes. Important to consider if a patient will most likely be started on a beta blocker upon discharge then strongly consider using the agent for acute conversion if they do not have any relative contraindications.<ref>Effect of metoprolol CR/XL in chronic heart failure: Metoprolol CR/XL Randomised Intervention Trial in Congestive Heart Failure (MERIT-HF).

| |
| *Bolus 0.5 mg/kg over one minute, followed by 50 µg/kg/min
| |
| *If, after 4min response is inadequate, re-bolus followed by infusion of 100 µg/kg/min
| |
| *If, after 4min response is still inadequate, try final bolus followed by infusion of 150 µg/kg/min
| |
| *If necessary, infusion can be increased to maximum of 200 µg/kg/min after another four minutes

| *Consider as initial therapy for pts with LV dysfunction who:
| |
| **Do not achieve rate control targets on beta blockers alone
| |
| **Cannot tolerate addition of or increased doses of beta blocker due to decompensated CHF
| |
| **Would have digoxin added anyway to improve CHF symptoms independent of A-fib
| |
| *Consider as initial therapy in pts with severe hypotension
| |
| *Consider as 2nd agent in pts in whom IV BB or IV CCB has failed to control their rate
