[Reduction of auricular fibrillation with fenoxedil: the probable role of the autonomic nervous system].

Abstract

It is still very difficult to study the mechanisms of action of anti-arrhythmic drugs in human clinical studies. The use of continuous electrocardiographic monitoring offers a number of advantages in this field. In this study, the authors evaluate the mechanisms of action of fenoxedil hydrochloride on atrial fibrillation. Holter monitoring suggests that there is a probable synergy between fenoxedil and the autonomic nervous system.
