To VT or not to VT- the Persistent Question Part 1/2


EMS responds to the report of an elderly female with palpitations. The patient's blood pressure is 100/76 and she has intact distal pulses. The patient reports mild retrosternal chest pain. There is no shortness of breath. The patient has a history of atrial fibrillation and called EMS when vagal maneuvers and an additional dose of metoprolol (prescribed) failed to correct the symptoms. 

What is your diagnosis ? 
What treatments would your crew consider?
