All
antiarrhythmic drugs should be avoided during the first trimester of pregnancy, if possible.
Moreover it has direct dilation effect on the coronary artery and the surrounding blood vessels, which is beneficial to improve the postoperative haemodynamics of patients.17,18 Compared with other
antiarrhythmic drugs, amiodarone has higher conversion rate and better sinus rhythm maintenance.19 In this study, the conversion rate of atrial fibrillation and maintenance rate of sinus rhythm of the observation group were 76.2% and 47.6% respectively, which were significantly higher than those of the control group, and the results were similar to the previous research results.20,21 In addition, rate of administration ways of amiodarone can produce different effects.
Uwe Klein, Ph.D., VP of Biology at Numerate, will continue to serve as principal investigator and will lead discovery efforts for the programme titled 'Peripherally restricted ?2/?-1 subunit ligands that modulate CaV channel gating as novel
antiarrhythmic drugs'.
Buch, who worked on the trial agrees, pointing out that both
antiarrhythmic drugs and catheter ablation are reasonable options for older adults with A-fib, and the decision about whether to choose one of these treatments must be individualized for each patient.
CH induced cardiac arrhythmias are usually refractory, which are unresponsive to standard
antiarrhythmic drugs including amiodarone and lidocaine.
Kowey has been a consultant to several companies that market
antiarrhythmic drugs or market arrhythmia devices and has an equity interest in BioTelemetry.
Unfortunately, existing treatments such as
antiarrhythmic drugs have limited efficacy and can cause adverse effects.
If the rhythm does not recover spontaneously,
antiarrhythmic drugs are suggested.
That makes us more sensitive to many drugs that affect the conduction system." This includes
antiarrhythmic drugs used to treat conditions such as atrial fibrillation.
(9) Women and patients treated with
antiarrhythmic drugs were also at higher risk of AF after ablation.
Understand that, as your heart heals from the ablation, you may be prescribed
antiarrhythmic drugs for weeks to months after the procedure, as well as anticoagulant medications to guard against stroke.
