A member asked:

Is flecainide safe and effective in treating idiopathic right ventricular outflow track ventricular tachycardia? does it prolong life ? prevent death?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Flecainide: As long as you don't have structural heart disease flecainide can be effective and safe.In my opinion, for long term use its important to have a cardiologist monitor you with regular examinations, periodic treadmill stress tests and 12 lead EKG's.
