Principes van anti-arritmica
- Treatment is aimed at reducing AF-related symptoms;
- Efficacy of antiarrhythmic drugs to maintain sinus rhythm is modest;
- Clinically successful antiarrhythmic drug therapy may reduce rather than eliminate the recurrence of AF;
- If one antiarrhythmic drug ‘fails’, a clinically acceptable response may be achieved with another agent;
- Drug-induced pro-arrhythmia or extracardiac side-effects are frequent;
- Safety rather than efficacy considerations should primarily guide the choice of antiarrhythmic drug.
