Hello Dr. Ashutosh: Thanks for this extensive review of Amiodarone (almost a textbook chapter!). It has been a very useful drug, and many times is the first choice for chemical reversion of Acute Atrial Fibrillation into Sinus Rhythm in the general ICU where I work. All Best, Joey

Excellent detailed commentary on a widely used drug in New Zealand, usually started in hospital, not necessarily by competent cardiologists I might add, and then GPs are left to make decisions about how long to continue, at what dose and when to discontinue. I know this decision can cause a lot of angst amongst my colleagues and so it will be helpful to share this knowledge with them. Thank you. |
