Abstract

The recently published consensus document by the European Heart Rhythm Association presents a patient-tailored pharmacological antiarrhythmic treatment approach targeting the arrhythmia mechanism. This document comprehensively reviews the indications, side effects, and contraindications of antiarrhythmic drugs. In this paper, we reviewed novel treatment concepts offered by the consensus document.
