Objective
Vital signs at 11:23: HR 122 irregularly irregular, BP 138/86, SpO₂ 96% on room air, temperature 37.0 °C.
from VS 11:2312-lead ECG at 11:28 demonstrates an irregularly irregular rhythm with absent P-waves and a narrow QRS complex.
from ECG 11:28Pulmonary examination clear bilaterally; no peripheral oedema; cardiac auscultation confirms irregular rhythm.

Assessment
New-onset atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response is the leading working diagnosis, consistent with the rhythm-strip morphology and the structural cardiac priors.
from differential rank 01Atrial flutter with variable conduction is held as a secondary consideration pending full 12-lead review.
from differential rank 02CHA₂DS₂-VASc score 3 (HTN, DM, age ≥ 75); HAS-BLED 1 — anticoagulation is indicated.
from risk-stratification panel
Plan
Rate control: IV metoprolol if blood pressure tolerates, with continuous telemetry monitoring.
from rate-control protocolAnticoagulation: apixaban once acute coronary syndrome is excluded; troponin pending.
from anticoagulation guidanceCardiology consult requested at the time of admission.
from consult request 11:34Disposition: admit to telemetry, NPO until cardiology evaluates, follow up in the morning.
