Overview
Physicians to manage an arrhythmia in critically ill patients should take into consideration many parameters. The choice of a suitable medicinal agent is a very challenging decision-making process. Critically ill patients frequently present with comorbidities as heart failure. In challenging cases, the assistance of cardiologists is often requested.
Rapibloc is a medicinal agent for life-critical conditions, where it is desirable to safely and rapidly reduce heart rate with limited effect in blood pressure and inotropy (e.g. pts in sepsis, pts with heart failure).
