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.
