As many patients in our community have experienced, a common complication after heart valve surgery is atrial fibrillation (AFib). Symptoms of AFib may include an irregular heartbeat, palpitations, extreme fatigue and chest pain. To help treat AFib following heart surgery, patients may be prescribed Amiodarone, an anti-arrhythmic drug.
The primary goal of AFib medications is to regulate heart rate and rhythm, prevent abnormal heart rhythms, and prevent blood clots from forming. There are several categories of medications used to treat AFib, including anticoagulants, heart rate control medications, and anti-arrhythmic drugs. Each category plays a vital role in treating AFib
The primary goal of AFib medications is to regulate heart rate and rhythm, prevent abnormal heart rhythms, and prevent blood clots from forming. There are several categories of medications used to treat AFib, including anticoagulants, heart rate control medications, and anti-arrhythmic drugs.
National data show that the most commonly used anti-arrhythmic drugs are amiodarone (used by 5 percent of AFib patients), sotalol (4 percent)

Digoxin As a less commonly used option, digoxin (which is a powerful cardiac medication that requires lots of monitoring) can be used to treat atrial fibrillation. Anti-arrhythmic Medications : Stronger AFib medications, such as the anti-arrhythmic medications flecainide, propafenone, sotalol, multaq, or amiodarone can be used as an

Amiodarone is the most commonly prescribed anti-arrhythmic drug for patients with AF. This is due to its particular electrophysiological properties and superior anti-arrhythmic effects in comparison with other anti-arrhythmic drugs.
Blood thinners If you are in afib at the time that the anti-arrhythmic medications are started, then you will need to be on blood thinners for at least a few
Comments
BTW. Standalone CHF taking down an otherwise healty person like that??? No afib, no obesity, no alcoholism, no bundle blockage or left side failure??
Just ignore the anti cuckold comments you clearly noted in the Tags what was happening and yet somehow the anon read it all anyway.
