Abstract

Based on its electrophysiologic characteristics, encainide, a new type 1 antiarrhythmic agent, was selected for a therapeutic trial in a case of refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. This approach represents an attempt to manage the pathophysiologic disturbance of atrial fibrillation by selection of a drug that would be expected to have specific effects on the conduction system.
