Indications
Prevention of relapses
* Life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, including ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation (treatment should be initiated in a hospital with careful cardiac monitoring).
* Supraventricular paroxysmal tachycardia:
— documented recurrent bouts of sustained supraventricular paroxysmal tachycardia in patients with organic heart disease;
— documented recurrent bouts of sustained supraventricular paroxysmal tachycardia in patients without organic heart disease, antiarrhythmic drugs when other classes are not effective, or there are contraindications to their use;
— documented recurrent bouts of sustained supraventricular paroxysmal tachycardia in patients with the syndrome Wolff-Parkinson-white.
* Atrial fibrillation (atrial fibrillation) and atrial flutter.
Prevention of sudden arrhythmic death in high-risk patients
Patients after a recent myocardial infarction who have more than 10 ventricular extrasystoles in 1 hour, clinical manifestations of chronic heart failure and a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (less than 40%).
Amiodarone can be used in the treatment of arrhythmias in patients with coronary heart disease and / or left ventricular dysfunction.
