Antiarrhythmic drugs: past, present and future.
When the North American Society of Pacing and Electrophysiology (NASPE) was founded 25 years ago, treatments were empiric and targeted diseases or symptoms whose underlying mechanisms were poorly understood, if at all. Therapies available and widely used for arrhythmias in the late 1970s included pacemakers, external defibrillation for cardiac arrest, and drugs: lidocaine, procainamide, quinidi...
متن کاملCurrent practice of antiarrhythmic drug therapy for prevention of atrial fibrillation in Europe: The European Heart Rhythm Association survey.
The aim of this survey was to provide insight into current practice regarding the use of antiarrhythmic drugs for atrial fibrillation (AF) among members of the European Heart Rhythm Association research network. Thirty-seven centres responded. Rhythm control was preferred in patients with significant AF-related symptoms by 73% of centres, in all patients after a first detected episode by 59%, a...
متن کاملDrug Therapy Considerations in Arrhythmias in Children
The understanding of the mechanisms of action and side effects of different antiarrhythmic drugs (AAD) are essential for their appropriate use. With the advent of effective and safe ablation therapy, AAD therapy has undergone dramatic changes. This review attempts to understand the rationale behind the clinical use of medical management of different arrhythmias.
متن کاملStatus of Antiarrhythmic Drug Development for Atrial Fibrillation: New Drugs and New Molecular Mechanisms.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, with a lifetime risk exceeding 20% by 80 years of age. AF is associated with a significant burden of morbidity and increased risk of mortality. Even with advances in catheter ablation procedures, antiarrhythmic drug therapy remains a cornerstone in the treatment of AF both to restore and maintain sinus rhythm. However, most are of ...
متن کاملNatural history and long-term outcomes of ablated atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation is increasingly used in clinical practice. We aimed to study the natural history and long-term outcomes of ablated AF. METHODS AND RESULTS We followed 831 patients after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) performed in 2005. We documented clinical outcomes using our prospective AF registry with most recent update on this group of patients in October 200...
