Summary
This study tests whether doing a special heart CT scan in the emergency department can help people with atrial fibrillation (a fast, irregular heartbeat) get treated faster and avoid being admitted to the hospital. About 190 participants will either get the CT scan and immediate treatment in the ER or follow the usual care path. Researchers will compare hospital stays, repeat ER visits, and quality of life after 30 days.
