antiarrythmics

Antiarrhythmics are used to treat heart rhythm disorders, called arrhythmias, and to lessen the symptoms associated with them. Some of the common symptoms of arrhythmias include heart palpitations, irregular heartbeats, fast heartbeats, lightheadedness, fainting, chest pain, and shortness of breath.
