Therapy with Antiarrhythmic Drugs
New England Journal of Medicine, 1978How much of what drug for whom?1 Good habits of mind are encouraged when the physician asks these questions before prescribing a drug.

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2006
The use of antiarrhythmic drugs can be challenging to physicians. They are effective in treating various types of arrhythmias, yet their potential to cause adverse events, in particularly proarrhythmia, can be intimidating. When the decision to use antiarrhythmic therapy has been made, physicians are confronted with several issues: choosing the right ...

Is There a Future for Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy?
Drugs, 1998Drug therapy has traditionally been the mainstay of treatment for both ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias. However, increasing knowledge about the potentially significant adverse effects of these medications, together with the emergence of new, nonpharmacological approaches to the treatment of arrhythmias, has led some to question the future ...

Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation
Cardiology Clinics, 2014Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequently encountered arrhythmia. Prevalence increases with advancing age and so as its associated comorbidities, like heart failure. Choice of pharmacologic therapy depends on whether the goal of treatment is maintaining sinus rhythm or tolerating AF with adequate control of ventricular rates.

Advances in Antiarrhythmic Therapy
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1998The therapy of cardiac arrhythmias in small animals can be confusing and challenging. This article reviews the current concepts of cardiac rhythm, including impulse generation, automaticity, and conduction in normal and diseased cardiac tissues. The mechanisms of arrhythmogenesis (abnormal automaticity and triggered events) and automatic modulation of ...

Importance of metabolites in antiarrhythmic therapy
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1983The presence of metabolites with pharmacologic activity can produce unanticipated drug efficacy or toxicity. This is particularly true during treatment with drugs that have narrow therapeutic-toxic ratios, such as the antiarrhythmic agents. The presence of active metabolites can often be inferred from variability in the relation between pharmacologic ...

Antiarrhythmic drug therapy in the neonate
Progress in Pediatric Cardiology, 2000 The neonate presents a challenge for the practitioner considering antiarrhythmic therapy: pharmacokinetics are different than in older children or adults; and the arrhythmia substrate may also differ, with respect to issues of ion channel and autonomic nervous system development.

Pharmacoeconomic Considerations in Antiarrhythmic Therapy
PharmacoEconomics, 1992Recently, the Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial (CAST) has focused attention on the morbidity and mortality that may be associated with pharmacological antiarrhythmic therapies. While the severity and frequency of adverse effects vary among the available agents, it is uncertain whether initial therapy with one agent is preferable to that with ...

Risks and Benefits of Antiarrhythmic Therapy
New England Journal of Medicine, 1994Drug treatment of cardiac arrhythmias is not uniformly effective and frequently causes side effects. Recently, new data have become available that more clearly delineate the risks of antiarrhythmic-drug therapy. At the same time, establishing a benefit of treatment with these drugs has proved difficult. The potential benefits of antiarrhythmic therapy -
