Side effects, the most common of which were photosensitivity and gastrointestinal upsets, occurred in 44 per cent and were sufficiently severe to warrant withdrawal of treatment in 15 per cent. These results confirm that amiodarone is of considerable value in the treatment of recurrent paroxysmal ...
atrial flutter and fibrillation (acute termination) activates slow inward Na+ currents during early phase 3 and inhibits opening of repolarizing K+ channels, which delays repolarization and increases ERP; IV only; can cause life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias; infrequent non-cardiac side effects ...

Because they do not alter the speed at which impulses are conducted, they have less propensity than current drugs (mostly Class I) to precipitate or aggravate arrhythmias, and also produce less neurological side effects. Some of the compounds also have some positive inotropic activity and therefore...

On the contrary, based on multicentric clinical trials, it is now evident that serious side effects may considerably limit the use of currently available antiarrhythmic agents to abolish or prevent atrial fibrillation and life threatening ventricular tachycardias. Therefore, it seems worthwhile to review...
Use of antiarrhythmic drugs in the ICD patient population not only can cause potentially serious side effects but can also interact or interfere with the ICD device function. In addition, the effect on survival in patients with ICDs is not well characterized. Given the many potential side effects...
Both of these have significantly fewer side effects and are better tolerated. Currently there is little clinical data regarding their efficacy in chronic pain states. Newer antidepressants do not appear to be significantly better than placebo in treating pain. Their faster onset and fewer side ...
The long-term side effects of amiodarone and early complications of CA should be weighed carefully according to specific patient characteristics.doi:10.1161/circep.119.007600Babikir KheiriMahmoud BarbarawiYazan ZayedMichael HicksMohammed OsmanLaith Rashdan...
Their most important side effects are proarrhythmia and inducing torsades de pointes. With introduction of newer antiarrhythmic agents, INa blockers are less frequently used. INa currents are controlled and modulated by several genes and the most common being the SCN5A gene. Mutations in SCN5A ...
