Ajmaline

Ajmaline is a medication used primarily to diagnose certain heart rhythm disorders. It works by blocking specific electrical signals in the heart, helping doctors identify abnormal heart conduction pathways, especially in conditions like Brugada syndrome. During a specialized test, ajmaline is administered under medical supervision to observe how the heart responds. This helps in diagnosing potentially serious arrhythmias and guiding treatment decisions. While effective in diagnostics, ajmaline should only be used in controlled medical settings due to its potent effects and potential side effects.
