Amiodarone succeeded in this case; leaves open its role in pre-excited AF with precarious accessory pathways.
Is amiodarone effective in treating pre-excited atrial fibrillation with a precarious conduction property of the accessory pathway?
This case report suggests that amiodarone may be effective for pre-excited atrial fibrillation in specific patients with precarious conduction properties of the accessory pathway, despite general concerns about its use in WPW syndrome.
