Nouveau protocole d'amiodarone dans le traitement des arythmies rebelles

The new protocol of amiodarone was proposed to treat and to prevent some paroxysm and refractory arrhythmias with classic treatments. It is to administrate an oral charge dose of 30mg/kg/day of amiodarone taken in one time during three days, then reduce progressively that posology. This protocol was applied on 60 patients with a success of 75% and a recur of 3.5%. few secondary effects were observed all reversible with the end of protocol. But no cardiac decompensation, no pro-arrhythmogene effect were signaled and especially no cardiac failure
