• Medications for Atrial Fibrillation
  Antiarrhythmic drugs are medications that correct an irregular or abnormal heartbeat. In the case of atrial fibrillation, medications may be used to slow the heartbeat or they may be used to convert the atrial fibrillation to a normal, regular heart rhythm. By correcting heartbeat irregularities, antiarrhythmic drugs help the heart work more efficiently.
