Non-antiarrhythmic drugs in atrial fibrillation: a review of non-antiarrhythmic agents in prevention of atrial fibrillation.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Recent studies have implicated repolarization lability in the genesis of malignant ventricular arrhythmias. However, few data exist on assessment of temporal QT interval variability and its relation to arrhythmogenesis. We tested the ability of the QT variability index (QTVI), a measure of beat-to-beat QT ...
