A drug or physical force that acts to control or prevent cardiac arrhythmias.


Drugs that correct an irregular heart-beat by restoring normal rhythm. Antiarrhythmics can also help the heart work more efficiently by slowing it down when it beats too fast or by helping it beat more regularly. The pace at which the heart beats is controlled by electrical signals that start in one part of the heart and spread throughout the entire organ. Arrhythmias develop when this control mechanism is disrupted.


Cardiac arrhythmia, a condition marked by irregular heartbeat, can be treated with a medication. This pharmacological intervention involves the use of a drug with specific properties that can restore the normal rhythm of the heart. Such a medication may work by affecting the electrical signals that control the heartbeat, or by influencing the contractile properties of the heart muscle. In either case, the drug must be carefully selected and administered to achieve optimal therapeutic effects while minimizing potential side effects. With proper treatment, patients with cardiac arrhythmia can experience improved quality of life and reduced risk of complications.
