If you suffer from atrial fibrillation (AF)—a condition where disorganized electrical signals cause the heart's upper chambers to contract quickly and irregularly—your doctor may prescribe an ...

The effectiveness of prophylactic therapy with procainamide in preventing active ventricular arrhythmias after acute myocardial infarction was determined in a double-blind study using ...

Background: Of the antiarrhythmic agents currently marketed in Canada, 5 are commonly used to treat atrial fibrillation (AF). The impact of contraindications, warnings and precautions for the use of ...

Doctors often prescribe antiarrhythmic drugs for patients experiencing atrial fibrillation (AF). While these drugs do work to restore regular rhythm to the heartbeat, scientists and doctors are ...

Upfront catheter ablation is a better first-line strategy for patients who develop ventricular tachycardia (VT) after a myocardial infarction (MI) than waiting until antiarrhythmic drugs fail, a ...

Guidelines recommend a trial of one or more antiarrhythmic drugs before catheter ablation is considered in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, first-line ablation may be more effective in ...

Pulsed field ablation (PFA) proved a better first-line treatment for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) than did antiarrhythmic drug therapy, with less recurrence and similar adverse event risk, the ...

Fact checked byProfessional Communications, Inc. Antiarrhythmic drugs act on the electrical conduction system of the heart. The most common use of these drugs is as part of a rhythm control strategy ...

Pulsed field ablation did not have superior efficacy to radiofrequency ablation in patients with drug-resistant paroxysmal (intermittent) atrial fibrillation, according to results from a late-breaking ...
