Journal ArticleAn article published in an academic or professional journal that reports original research or scholarly analysis.
ReviewAn article that critically examines existing research on a particular topic and summarizes the current state of knowledge in the field.

Overview

This review examines current treatments for atrial fibrillation (AF), a common heart rhythm disorder, focusing on anti-arrhythmic medications. While amiodarone has been used for decades, its extracardiac side effects have led to the development of newer agents like dronedarone, vernakalant, and ranolazine. However, recent studies have raised concerns about the safety of dronedarone in some patients.
