Does amiodarone improve arrhythmia control in patients with refractory supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias?
Amiodarone is effective in controlling refractory supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias, though it universally causes benign corneal microdeposits with prolonged use.
Wheeler et al. (1979) conducted an observational in Refractory supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias (n=50). Amiodarone was evaluated on Arrhythmia control. Amiodarone completely controlled 18 of 27 patients with refractory supraventricular arrhythmias and 6 of 8 patients with life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.
