Happy New Year to All!

Now, back to business…

A 71 year-old male with past medical history of CAD and CHF (last known EF 10%) is sent by his PMD for progressive shortness of breath, dyspnea on exertion, and lower extremity edema.

Just as you sit down to finally catch up on notes, you are handed the ECG below.

Briefly, how would you manage this patient in the Emergency Department?
