Abstract
Electrocardiography is invaluable in detection and characterization of arrhythmias. But it defines only one of many parameters affecting decisions on whether to employ antiarrhythmic drugs and which ones to use. Other factors include the differences between immediate postinfarction and ambulatory patients and the specific physiologic events underlying the development of an arrhythmia.Keywords
