Atrial Fibrillation Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation
Antiarrhythmic medications have been available for nearly 100 years and remain a mainstay in the management of atrial fibrillation (AF). Goals of therapy with the use of these drugs include a reduction in the frequency and duration of episodes of arrhythmia as well an emerging goal of reducing mortality and hospitalizations associated with AF. The use of these drugs has been limited by both pro...
متن کاملProphylactic Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy in Atrial Fibrillation.
In patients with recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF), the hallmark of treatment has been the use of antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs). Goals of therapy include reduction in the frequency and duration of episodes of arrhythmia as well an emerging goal of reducing mortality and hospitalizations associated with AF. Safety and efficacy are important factors when choosing an antiarrhythmic drug for the tre...

متن کاملImproved suppression of recurrent atrial fibrillation with dual-site right atrial pacing and antiarrhythmic drug therapy.
OBJECTIVES We compared the safety, tolerance and effectiveness of overdrive high right atrial (RA), dual-site RA and support (DDI or VDI) pacing (SP) in patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) and bradycardias. BACKGROUND Optimal pacing methods for AF prevention remain unclear. METHODS Patients (n = 118) were randomized to each of three pacing modes in a crossover trial. RESULT...
متن کاملRisk factors for recurrence of atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing hybrid therapy for antiarrhythmic drug-induced atrial flutter.
AIMS Catheter ablation of the inferior vena cava-tricuspid annulus isthmus and continuation of antiarrhythmic drug therapy have been shown to be an effective hybrid therapy for atrial flutter which results from antiarrhythmic drug treatment of atrial fibrillation. The aim of this study was to determine the risk factors for recurrence of atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing hybrid therapy ...
