Effects of amiodarone on the P-wave triggered signal-averaged electrocardiogram in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and coronary artery disease

The effects of a 6-week treatment with amiodarone on the P-wave triggered signal-averaged electrocardiogram in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and coronary artery disease have been studied. Amiodarone favorably influences P-wave triggered signal-averaged electrocardiographic parameters,...

Description
Summary:The effects of a 6-week treatment with amiodarone on the P-wave triggered signal-averaged electrocardiogram in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and coronary artery disease have been studied. Amiodarone favorably influences P-wave triggered signal-averaged electrocardiographic parameters, predominantly in patients in whom amiodarone is effective in preventing paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
