An Overview of Contemporary Approaches to Antiarrhythmic Therapy

Year: 1999

Type: review

Abstract: This review discusses the evolution in the approach to the therapy of cardiac arrhythmias that has occurred during the past 2 decades. The major changes have been driven by advances in understanding arrhythmia mechanisms, in bioengineering, and in clinical trials. It seems likely that progress in understanding the cellular and molecular basis of arrhythmias and their response to drug therapy may allow further identification of patient subsets in which specific therapies are indicated or contraindicated.
