“C” Trouble: Class IC Anti-arrhythmic Toxicity
Journal Title: Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine and Cardiology - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The most common cardiac arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice is atrial fibrillation (AFib). AFib has significant effects on long-term mortality and stroke, and contributes greatly to overall healthcare costs, affects quality of life and the functional status of many patients [1]. The incidence and prevalence of AFib continues to rise with age, when co-morbidities that affect rhythm management frequently co-exist [1].
