Estrogen Increases Are A Factor For Intoxication During A Part Of The Female Cycle

Front 1

What are the four critical considerations regarding use of antiarrhythmics

Back 1

1. Establish frequency and cause of arrhythmia incase it can be treated without drugs
2. Low therapeutic index
3. Assess treatment options including no treatment
4. Have rational expectations of therapy including electrophysiological status of the heart

Back 16

Sort of like having a second AV node that is depolarized at a different time from the other node which then depolarizes the true AV node to result in an arrythmia
