Antiarrhythmics
Cardiac arrhythmias are a common cause of death in patients with heart conditions. These abnormalities in heart rhythm can be due to issues with impulse generation or conduction. Antiarrhythmic medications play a crucial role in managing these conditions by affecting the action potentials of cardiac
