Abstract:
Objective To explore the effectiveness and safety of intravenous metoprolol by two injection methods in treatment for patients of atrial fibrillation anti rapid ventricular rates complicated with heart failure.Methods Patients of atrial fibrillation and rapid ventricular rates complicated with heart failure were administrated regular drug therapy for their heart failure,and then they were observed for half an hour.If their ventricular rates were above 100 beats/min and blood pressure equal to or above 100/60 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa),they were randomly divided into three groups,the first one administrated with metoprolol 10 mg by minipump in an hour,the second one administrated with metoprolol 5 mg in 10 minutes by direct injection,and repeated by 5 mg 10 minutes later if their heart beats were still above 100 beats/min and blood pressure equal to or above 100/60 mm Hg,and the third one administrated with normal saline as control group.As either ventricular rates were equal to or lower than 60 beats/min or blood pressure lower than 90/60 mm Hg,drug administration would be terminated.Symptoms,physical signs, heart rate,blood pressure,rale on auscultation of the chest,parameters of haemodynamics,serum levels of brain natrium peptide (BNP) and atrial natrium peptide (ANP) were observed at 0 h and 1 h after drug injection.Results Clinical symptoms and physical signs of heart failure were improved significantly,heart rates and serum levels of BNP (F=15.929,14.534,all P
