Anti-arrhythmic drugs (AAD's) alter the electrical properties of the heart principally by either prolonging the cardiac action potential, decreasing conduction velocity, reducing focal automaticity or a combination of these effects. Despite the fact that a large number of AAD's were initially developed for ventricular arrhythmias the most common current indication is currently atrial fibrillation (AF).
