calc channel blockers control #emf symptoms including #afib

control emf symptoms including afib:
Mercola 2017.9:
. cell phone and other wireless fields
such as smart electricity meters
that are too mild to have thermal effects
(so they won't cook you like a microwave)
can still harm you via VGCC activation
(a cell's voltage-gated calcium channels)
Common heart problems linked to EMF exposure
include: Cardiac arrhythmias
(associated with sudden cardiac death)
Atrial fibrillation / atrial flutter.
[J Chemical Neuroanatomy 2016]
. put a Faraday cage around your bed,
as EMFs are known to disrupt sleep.

Brent Reed, PharmD, FAHA 2014:
Both beta blockers and calcium channel blockers
appear safe and effective for acute rate control
in AF[afib] with RVR.
Intravenous beta blockers and
non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers
are recommended first-line for
atrial fibrillation (AF) with
rapid ventricular rate (RVR).

Bryan D. Hayes, PharmD, FAACT, FASHP 2014:
Metoprolol vs. Diltiazem
The success rate at 20 minutes
for diltiazem and metoprolol
was 90% (n = 18) and 80% (n = 16),
respectively.
The success rate at 2 minutes was higher in
the diltiazem group (50% vs. 15%).
The percentage decrease in ventricular rate
was higher in the diltiazem group at each time interval.
Metoprolol and diltiazem both lowered heart rate effectively.
Diltiazem may have fared slightly better.
