Upon diagnosis of Atrial fibrillation (AF) many are prescribed antiarrhythmic medication(s). These help to restore the normal (sinus) heart rhythm.

They work by blocking specific electrical conduction channels in the heart. Some can slow the activation of the heart muscle, and others slow the recovery of the heart muscle.

Each medication is effective for a particular rhythm disorder. Your doctor will make an assessment based upon your symptoms and the details of your diagnosis on an individual basis.

If you would like further information, please visit the AF Association webpage: heartrhythmalliance.org/afa...

And download the ‘Atrial fibrillation (AF) drug information’ patient booklet; api.heartrhythmalliance.org...

If you have any questions, then please do not hesitate to contact; info@afa-international.org
