antiarrhythmic therapy

Cardiology The use of therapeutic agents to counteract potentially life-threatening and refractory ventricular arrhythmias, and ↓ mortality; the Vaughn Williams/Harrison classification divides antiarrhythmic agents into 5 groups. Cf Proarrhythmic effect.

For most patients with primary tachyarrhythmias, they can be successfully managed with appropriate antiarrhythmic therapy, overdrive pacing, direct current cardioversion, and, if necessary, timely ablation.[4] However, these therapies are not always effective.

Indeed, the future of antiarrhythmic therapy lies in neuromodulation of the autonomic nervous system, and it's a lot closer than most cardiologists realize, according to the electrophysiologist.
