[The efficacy of combinations of anti-arrhythmia preparations in patients with the paroxysmal form of atrial fibrillation].
The efficacy of allapinin, ethacizine, ritmilen, kinilentin, obsidan and finoptin given alone and in different combinations was studied in 44 patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation provoked by transesophageal pacing. The use of the combinations of the drugs belonging to the first group as well of those of the first group combined with the drugs belonging to the 2nd-4th group permitted one to significantly enhance the treatment efficacy, to reduce drug doses in a lot of patients and, therefore, to minimize the rate of side effects. The data obtained promoted the choosing of the therapy algorithm to prevent paroxysms of atrial fibrillation. While designing the algorithm, account was taken of the rate of paroxysms and of the initial sinus rhythm as was of the results of estimating the comparative efficacy of the drugs under study.
