Would you like to know more about your antiarrhythmic medication?

[TracyAdmin]

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.
