Anti-Arrhythmic Drugs

Anti-arrhythmic drugs are medications used to regulate irregular heartbeats, or arrhythmias, ensuring the heart beats in a normal rhythm. They work by modifying the electrical signals that control heartbeats, either slowing down, speeding up, or stabilizing the heart's rhythm. These drugs can help prevent symptoms like dizziness or chest pain, and reduce the risk of severe complications like stroke or heart failure. Different types target specific electrical pathways, allowing tailored treatment for various arrhythmias, balancing effectiveness with potential side effects. They are prescribed carefully by healthcare providers based on individual patient needs.
