What's prescribed for Atrial Fibrillation?


a.) quinidine
b) procainamide
c) lidocaine
d) midodrine

b.) procainamide, but your text book is outdated....quinidine was popular before procainamide. lidocaine was used for venticular ectopy. midodrine treats low blood pressure....

My son had atrial fibrillation. In fact, he was in ICU twice due to the out of rhythm. He currently doesn't have it and noticed it when he ran out of his meds and he wasn't what we call, "fibbing." He was on dijoxin in the beginning but it wasn't holding him. They changed him to norpace and cardizem and it worked great.

I will tell you that an arrythmia specialist is alot more proactive with atrial fib than a cardiologist.

Commonly, none of these.
