Tina discusses the following rhythm control medications for atrial fibrillation:
Class 3 antiarrhythmics: blocks potassium channels and prolongs action potential duration
- Amiodarone
- Dronedarone
- Sotalol
Class 1 antiarrhythmics: blocks sodium channels, which results in a slowed atrial conduction, lengthens atrial refractoriness, and suppresses automaticity
