Abstract

Effective treatment of recurrent drug-refractory ventricular tachycardia is difficult, and conventional pharmacological and interventional approaches are often ineffective. We present a novel case report illustrating the potential use of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation in such patients.

Anti-Arrhythmic Drug Therapies

Anti-arrhythmic drugs are used to prevent abnormal heart rhythms. These medications are used in conditions including, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation and atrial fibrillation. Discover the latest research on anti-arrhythmic drug therapies here.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
