ventricular tachycardia
"Six months after quintuple by-pass surgery and several heart events I was put on Multaq and shortly thereafter had a defibrillator device implanted.
Four years and a slow but steady increase in short cardio events I was prescribed Amiodarone 200mg twice daily, and after controlling the events reduced the dosage to 200mg once daily.  In the ensuing 2 years my cardiac events has drastically reduced in number and severity and my defibrillator activity is almost non-existent.  I do have medium to light side effects including constipation, under skin tingle, short term memory loss and an occasional feeling of unsteadiness.  All a reasonable price to pay for the huge reduction of arrhythmia activity."
