Anti-arrythmic therapy can often cause arrhythmias by altering normal conductance in the heart in an effort to normalize rate and rhythm. Proven by the CAST study finding that the placebo group had better results than the treatment arm. “The death rate in treated patients was two and a half times higher in those given a placebo.” The CAST II trial (which used different pharmacological agents also had the same result — Not due to chance)
Monitoring of Uterine contraction had no effect on the rate of premature birth but did cause almost twice as many medical visits. Fetal monitoring provides almost no benefit beyond reducing the number of seizures from 2/1000 to 1/1000. Relative risk is reduced by 100% but it really is not statistically significant
