How does diltiazem and flecainide affect the heart?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Affect the rhythm: These are typically drugs to treat arrhythmia. Commonly fast heart rate from a rapid atrial arrhythmia (typically atrial fibrillation) is treated. Flecainid is a class ic drug that helps restore rhythm. Diltiazem is calcium channel blocker that is an av blocking agent that slows down the heart rate.
