Abstract

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia requiring treatment, which affects 2-3% of the adult population. AF leads to an increased risk of stroke 5 times, heart failure 3 times, dementia and lethality 2 times. Treatment can significantly reduce this risk. An important issue of treatment is the restoration of sinus rhythm in the paroxysm of AF and the provision of planned antiarrhythmic therapy. Antiarrhythmic drug 1C of the class of propafenone is an effective and safe drug for pharmacological cardioversion and routine antiarrhythmic therapy for the prevention of recurrent AF in patients without serious cardiac damage.
