Potential risk with amiodarone in AF-WPW; hypothesis-generating case leaves open need for confirmatory data.
Does amiodarone accelerate ventricular rate in patients with atrial fibrillation and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome?
Amiodarone can paradoxically accelerate ventricular rate in patients with atrial fibrillation and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, highlighting the need for careful electrophysiological assessment prior to use.
Sheinman et al. (1982) studied this question.
