This is the eighth podcast in the What are Palpitations? series and it focuses on the treatment options for arrhythmias. We will be discussing everything from lifestyle modifications that may help reduce arrhythmias as well as medications that are often used in arrhythmia treatment.  A brief outline includes:

  1. Lifestyle
  2. Can exercise cause heart-rhythm problems?
  3. Medications
  4. Anticoagulation
  5. Ablation
  6. Cardioversion
    7. The Vaughan-Williams Classification (Classes 1, 2, 3, and 4) is a system used to classify antiarrhythmics based on their mechanism of action. This Table describes the different classes of antiarrhythmics and how they are used, as well as side effects.
