| Abstract (English): |
The article addresses the management of patients with atrial fibrillation and rapid ventricular response in emergency services, highlighting the importance of characterizing this condition in a regional context that is underrepresented in the scientific literature. It notes a partial adherence to international clinical guidelines, with a significant use of amiodarone and digoxin, which contrasts with current recommendations that prioritize beta-blockers and calcium antagonists. Additionally, it mentions the low proportion of anticoagulated patients, underscoring a gap in the prevention of strokes. The implementation of risk stratification protocols and the need for multicenter studies to improve the applicability of the findings are suggested. [Extracted from the article] |

Se señala una adherencia parcial a las guías clínicas internacionales, con un uso significativo de amiodarona y digoxina, lo que contrasta con las recomendaciones actuales que priorizan betabloqueadores y calcioantagonistas. Además, se menciona la baja proporción de pacientes anticoagulados, lo que resalta una brecha en la prevención de accidentes cerebrovasculares. Se sugiere la implementación de protocolos de estratificación de riesgo y la necesidad de estudios multicéntricos para mejorar la aplicabilidad de los hallazgos. [Extracted from the article] |
