A member asked:
How effective is diltiazem (cardizem) for managing atrial fibrillation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Effective: Controlling the heart rate is an important part of treating atrial fibrillation. This can be done with a calcium channel blocker, such as diltiazem or verapamil, or a beta-blocker. Also important is anticoagulation, and consideration of restoring sinus rhythm.
