Ajay K Sharma*, Sarju Ganatra, Kashif Chaudhry and Muqtada G Chaudhry

A sixty-seven year old male with a past medical history of diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, lung cancer in remission and COPD was diagnosed with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) a month prior to his admission at our institution. He underwent external cardioversion at that time and started on beta blocker, but that had to be discontinued soon thereafter secondary to fatigue. Patient was then started on long acting Verapamil 120 mg daily and Propafenone 225 mg twice a day.
