Don’t Expect Miracles from Current Medications
Antiarrhythmic drugs are only effective for about 40% of patients. Many patients can’t tolerate the bad side effects. When drugs do work, over time, the they become less effective or stop working. According to Drs. Irina Savelieva and John Camm of St. George’s University of London:
