A 41 year old male with a rapid heart rate

 How would you treat this?

a. If the patient was haemodynamically stable?
b. If he was haemodynamically unstable?

    The man has very rapid AF associated with transmission down an accessory pathway. AV node blockers should be avoided. DC cardioversion is indicated in cases of haemodynamic instability, while for stable patients, IV propafenone, procainamide or flecainide (if no structural heart disease) may be tried.
