If you go into an ER with a rate of 150, they'll probably just put you on a diltiazem drip and let you lay there for hours in the hope it will revert to normal rhythm on its own.

If you do decide to go to an ER and they want to put you on a diltiazem drip, ask if they will give you a diltiazem push over about 10 minutes instead. Some of us have found that this works much better than a drip.

Suppose a clot forms during an afib episode. What is time course of risk of stroke? Assuming no electro cardioversion attempts, the clot would get dislodged whenever the heart returns to normal flow in the atrium. It'd then have to move into an obstructing position in the brain (or elsewhere). So it seems the peak risk of stroke is well after return to normal rhythm. So wondering what the time-vs-risk looks like, from say a research study.
