Description:
Diltiazem is a calcium channel blocker commonly used to control the heart rate in patients with atrial fibrillation. It works by slowing conduction through the AV node, which helps reduce the rapid ventricular response associated with AFib. It can be given intravenously for acute rate control in the hospital or orally for long-term management. While effective, it must be used cautiously in patients with low blood pressure or heart failure.
