Overview

Antiarrhythmic therapy can be considered as part of a therapeutic strategy to prevent sudden cardiac death. Over 50% of heart failure patients will have asymptomatic [[non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) and it is generally not recommended that NSVT be treated.

Antiarrhythmic Drugs

There are multiple causes of sudden cardiac death in the patient with congestive heart failure which include not only arrhythmic causes, but also thrombotic and other causes:

Metabolism of Antiarrhythmics in the setting of Congestive Heart Failure

The metabolism of following anti-arrhythmic drugs are significantly affected in patients with congestive heart failure and care should be taken regarding their administration:

  1. Quinidine
  2. Procainamide
  3. Disopyramide: Contraindicated in patients with heart failure.
  4. Moricizine
  5. Lidocaine
  6. Mexiletine
  7. Tocainide
  8. Flecainide
  9. Propafenone
  10. Amiodarone

Patients with congestive heart failure should not be treated with dronedarone.

2022 AHA/ ACC/ HFSA Heart Failure Guidelines (DO NOT EDIT) [1]

Class III (Harm)
"4.In patients with HFrEF, class IC antiarrhythmic medications and dronedarone may increase the risk of mortality. [2][3][4] (Level of Evidence: A) "
Management of Stage C HF: Ivabadrine
Class IIa
"1. For patients with symptomatic (NYHA class II to III) stable chronic HFrEF (LVEF ≤ 35%) who are receiving GDMT, including a beta blocker at maximum tolerated dose, and who are in sinus rhythm with a heart rate of ≥70 bpm at rest, ivabradine can be beneficial to reduce HF hospitalizations and cardiovascular death. [5][6](Level of Evidence: B-R) "
