An interesting case

52 yo male scheduled for right thoracoscopy for tumor vs empiema (tough surgery was sure It was on the cancer side) with a history of heavy smoking over 20 years, HBP with no treatment, dilated miocardiopath, heart failure with FEV1 20%, recent onset AF. Current meds are digoxine, furosemide, enalapril and metoprolol. At the OR the patien was unstable with AF all over the place, my attending cancelled the case, but what would be your plan for this patient?
