Fluconazole & heart: Fluconazole does unfortunately have pro arrhythmic properties and thus can cause you to have an episode of atrial fib or worse a ventricular arrhythmia Therefore I would be cautious about this drug - Now if you are using it topically you might be safe since a minimal amount is absorbed but an oral form - i would avoid or at best take the lowest dose for the shortest time.
