Non-standard dose dronedarone in treating atrial fibrillation patients
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia requiring medical care . Dronedarone is derived from amiodarone, but has different electrophysiological effects . Dronedarone has been approved to treat paroxysmal or persistent AF, which is associated with a reduction of AF-related hospitalization, stroke or mortality . However, dronedarone should be avoided in patients with decompensated heart failure or permanent AF due to an increased mortality .
