Description:
Metoprolol is a beta-blocker commonly used to control heart rate in atrial fibrillation. It works by slowing conduction through the AV node and reducing the effects of adrenaline on the heart, which helps lower a rapid ventricular response. It can be given intravenously for acute rate control in the hospital or orally for ongoing management. Caution is needed in patients with low blood pressure, heart failure, or very slow heart rates.
