Scores of drugs can be associated with arrhythmias ranging from atrial fibrillation to torsades de pointes, according to a scientific statement from the American Heart Association (AHA).
Members of two AHA committees reviewed more than 70 recent articles in order to develop the scientific statement, which addresses drug-induced bradyarrhythmias, supraventricular arrhythmias and ventricular arrhythmias.
