AB An  arrhythmia  can  be  broadly  defined  as  any  significant  deviation  from  normal  cardiac  rhythm.1  Various  problems  in  the  origination  and  conduction  of  electrical  activity  in  the  heart  can  lead  to  distinct  types  of  arrhythmias.  If  untreated,  disturbances  in  normal  cardiac  rhythm  result  in  impaired  cardiac  pumping  ability,  and  certain  arrhythmias  are  associated  with  cerebrovascular  accidents,  cardiac  failure,  and  other  sequelae  that  can  be  fatal.2,3  Fortunately,  a  variety  of  drugs  are  available  to  help  establish  and  maintain  normal  cardiac  rhythm.
