Abstract

One of the main methods the treatment of patients with supraventricular paroxysmal tachycardia remains drug therapy, which involves the prevention attacks of cardiac arrhythmias. Drugs of choice for termination and prevention of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia in the absence of pronounced signs structural myocardial damage is an antiarrhythmic with I C class (propafenon - propanorm). Efficacy of propafenon and its influence on the functional state of heart in patients with paroxysmal antrioventricular tachycardias was studied. It was found that propafenon is highly effective in preventing paroxysmal antrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia and atrioventricular nodal tachycardia. The drug has no negative effect on the functional state of heart.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Antiarrhythmic Agents: Mechanisms of Action

Understanding the mechanism of action of antiarrhythmic agents is essential in developing new medications as treatment of cardiac arrhythmias is currently limited by the reduced availability of safe and effective drugs.

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.
