Atrial Fibrillation, Causes, Signs and Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention

Maintaining a normal heart rate

Maintaining a normal heart rate

After performing electrical cardioversion, the doctor might prescribe some medications to prevent future episodes of atrial fibrillation. Some of these medications include:

  • Propafenone
  • Dofetilide
  • Amiodarone
  • Flecainide
  • Sotalol

Although these drugs help maintain a normal heart rate, they might produce certain side effects like fatigue, nausea and dizziness.
