Treatment The underlying cause of any heart rhythm disorder provides the basis for selecting the best treatment plan. In general, the best treatment is the least invasive option that effectively controls the heart rhythm disorder. Lifestyle Changes – Since other heart disorders increase the risk of developing abnormal heart rhythms, lifestyle changes often are recommended. Living a “heart healthy” lifestyle can ease the symptoms experienced with heart rhythm disorders and other heart disorders, and can be beneficial to overall patient health.

Medications for Arrhythmia Calcium channel blockers. Calcium channel blockers, also known as calcium antagonists, work by interrupting the movement of calcium into heart and blood vessel tissue. Besides being used to treat high blood pressure, they're also used to treat angina (chest pain) and/or some arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms). Beta-blockers. Beta-blockers decrease the heart rate and cardiac output, which lowers blood pressure by blocking the effects of adrenalin.

Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation Antiarrhythmic medications have been available for nearly 100 years and remain a mainstay in the management of atrial fibrillation (AF). Goals of therapy with the use of these drugs include a reduction in the frequency and duration of episodes of arrhythmia as well an emerging goal of reducing mortality and hospitalizations associated with AF.

Managing Atrial Fibrillation with Medication Some patients have success with electrical cardioversion, which shocks the heart into a normal sinus rhythm, followed by rhythm control drugs to maintain that normal sinus rhythm. There are three types of medications used in treating and managing atrial fibrillation:1  Rate control medication to control the heart rate.o find out about these various medications, see rate control medication, rhythm control medication, and anticoagulant medication. 1 Wyse, D. George, M.D., Rate Versus Rhythm Control in the Management of Atrial Fibrillation, American Heart Association, Copyright, 2006.

Medications for Arrhythmia 1 All medications have side effects, including drugs to treat arrhythmias. 2  Most of the side effects aren't serious and disappear when the dose is changed or the medication is stopped. 3  But some side effects are very serious.4  That's why some children are admitted to the hospital to begin the medication.hey can help prevent heart attack and stroke. They can also prevent complications and slow the progression of coronary heart disease. In these lists of medications used to treat arrhythmias, we've included generic names first, with some common brand names in parentheses.

Medications for Atrial Fibrillation The symptoms of atrial fibrillation are caused by the irregular heartbeat. Some people find Afib episodes to be painful and frightening. Others say they are simply uncomfortable. To help, your medical team may prescribe medications aimed at controlling your heart rate and your heart rhythm. In some cases, the same medications are used to control both. Beta blockers are a class of medications that are commonly used for heart rate control. These medications block some of the effects of adrenaline, which tends to make the heart beat faster. Metoprolol is an example of a commonly used beta blocker.

Rate Control Medication for Atrial Fibrillation There are three types of rate control medications: 1  Beta Blockers, which slow the heart rate and relax the blood vessels. Examples include Atenolol (Tenormin®), Carvedilol (Coreg™), Metoprolol (Toprol XL™, Lopressor®), and Sotalol (Betapace®) 2  Calcium Channel Blockers, which relax blood vessels and reduce heart workload.

Arrhythmias (Abnormal Rhythms) in Dogs 1 In dogs, cardioversion may be successful in returning the heart to a normal rhythm, but often the rhythm returns to atrial fibrillation in the dog. 2  Consequently, treatment for atrial fibrillation involves the use of drugs to slow the rate. 3  Such drugs include dilitiazem, atenolol and/or digoxin.
