Antiarrhythmic

An antiarrhythmic is a type of medication used to treat a variety of abnormal heart rhythms, known as arrhythmias. Antiarrhythmics work by altering the electrical activity of the heart, helping it to maintain a regular rhythm. They can be used to treat both fast and slow heart rhythms, as well as other more complex arrhythmias. The type of antiarrhythmic used depends on the type of arrhythmia, its severity, and the patient's cardiovascular health. In addition to helping to regulate the heart's rhythm, antiarrhythmics can also help to reduce symptoms associated with arrhythmias, such as palpitations and chest pain.
