- Authors
BUSHARDT, REAMER L.; JONES, KELLY W.
- Abstract
The article presents a comparable analysis between dronedarone and amiodarone as effective treatments of atrial fibrillation (AF). It compares the safety of amiodarone and dronedarone based on the potential for proarrhythmia, mortality rate, and other treatment-related adverse events. It considers amiodarone is more effective for patients with AF but dronedarone is an alternative for patients who cannot take rate control therapy.
