Caution: compromise purely due to AF is rare. Compromise is more frequently due to the underlying condition, which must be treated first: e.g. Pneumonia, Sepsis causing hypotension, chronic LV dysfunction, AMI causing chest pain, PE. If unsure that the fast AF is the primary problem, seek senior advice.
