2. Amiodarone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiodarone

   Amiodarone has been used both in the treatment of acute life-threatening arrhythmias as well as the long-term suppression of arrhythmias. [13] Amiodarone is commonly used to treat different types of abnormal heart rhythms, such as atrial arrhythmias (supraventricular arrhythmias) and ventricular arrhythmias. [13]

3. Antiarrhythmic agent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiarrhythmic_agent

   Amiodarone has mostly Class III activity, but also I, II, & IV activity [6] Prevent paroxysmal atrial fibrillation [7] and haemodynamically stable ventricular tachycardia [8] (amiodarone) Treat atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation (ibutilide) Treat ventricular tachycardia and atrial fibrillation (sotalol) Treat Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome; IV

4. Potassium channel blocker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_channel_blocker

   Amiodarone is also safe to use in individuals with cardiomyopathy and atrial fibrillation, to maintain normal sinus rhythm. Amiodarone prolongation of the action potential is uniform over a wide range of heart rates, so this drug does not have reverse use-dependent action. Amiodarone was the first agent described in this class. [4]

5. Atrial flutter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrial_flutter

   Atypical atrial flutter rarely occurs in people who have not undergone previous heart surgery or previous catheter ablation procedures. Left atrial flutter is considered atypical and is common after incomplete left atrial ablation procedures. [13] Atypical atrial flutter originating from the right atrium and heart's septum have also been described.

6. Cardioversion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardioversion

   Various antiarrhythmic agents can be used to return the heart to normal sinus rhythm. [3] Pharmacological cardioversion is an especially good option in patients with atrial fibrillation of recent onset. Drugs that are effective at maintaining normal rhythm after electric cardioversion can also be used for pharmacological cardioversion.

7. Proarrhythmia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proarrhythmia

   Conversion of atrial fibrillation to flutter (usually VW type IC drugs or amiodarone). May be a desired effect. Increase of defibrillation threshold (a potential problem with VW type IC drugs) Provocation of recurrence (probably VW types IA, IC and III drugs). It is rare.

8. AV nodal reentrant tachycardia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AV_nodal_reentrant_tachycardia

   The main symptom of AVNRT is the sudden development of rapid regular palpitations. [1] These palpitations may be associated with a fluttering sensation in the neck, caused by near-simultaneous contraction of the atria and ventricles against a closed tricuspid valve leading to the pressure or atrial contraction being transmitted backwards into the venous system. [2]

9. AZD1305 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AZD1305

   AZD1305 is an experimental drug candidate that is under investigation for the management and reversal of cardiac arrhythmias, specifically atrial fibrillation and flutter. In vitro studies have shown that this combined-ion channel blocker inhibits rapidly the activating delayed-rectifier potassium current (IKr), L-type calcium current, and ...
