Ross,

I LOVE it!! Glad to see you are back with funny bone intact!!!

I did see the cardio yesterday and he fussed at me about my weight:rolleyes: Good news is that he has taken me off the wicked Amiodarone!!!! I had to fling a fit and promise to call at any sign of fib or flutter. I guess we will see if the Ablation worked(fingers crossed)

Hope you are well.....you have been in my prayers.
(yes, even Yoda prays):D

Why these Docs use Amiodarone as a first choice drug when even the package insert says drug of last resort is beyond me. They prescribe it like it's a common allergy pill or something.

INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Because of its life-threatening side effects and the substantial management difficulties associated
with its use (see ?WARNINGS? below), Cordarone is indicated only for the treatment of the
following documented, life-threatening recurrent ventricular arrhythmias when these have not
responded to documented adequate doses of other available antiarrhythmics or when alternative
agents could not be tolerated.

1. Recurrent ventricular fibrillation.
2. Recurrent hemodynamically unstable ventricular tachycardia.
As is the case for other antiarrhythmic agents, there is no evidence from controlled trials that the
use of Cordarone Tablets favorably affects survival.
