Brief summary
Oral carvedilol administered in escalating doses in patients with atrial fibrillation among patients with AF with fast ventricular rate.
Detailed description
Patients with AF with FVR of any etiology were evaluated and given escalating doses of oral carvedilol in doses - 3.125mg OD, then 3.125 bid, then 6.25mg bid, then 12.5mg bid. The ECG was recorded regularly and analysed for rate reduction or control.
