| Abstract | INTRODUCTION: Flecainide is a class Ic antiarrhythmic agent available in Europe since 1982. The clinical development program of flecainide provided good data on its antiarrhythmic effect for the prevention of ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias. The Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial (CAST), conducted to test whether the arrhythmia suppression translates into prevention of sudden death, assessed the impact of flecainide and encainide therapy in patients with frequent ventricular ectopics and reduced left ventricular function who had survived an infarction. In that population, flecainide and encainide increased mortality. Consequently, sodium channel blockers are now rarely used to prevent sudden death and are not recommended in patients with heart failure. Current European and North American guidelines recommend the use of flecainide in carefully selected patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and no documented structural heart disease. AREAS COVERED: The aim of this review is to evaluate the available data on efficacy and safety of flecainide in all the spectrum of its indications including cardioversion of recent-onset AF, sinus rhythm maintenance in paroxysmal AF and management of ventricular tachyarrhythmias. EXPERT OPINION: In the setting of AF and in carefully selected patients without structural heart disease, flecainide has shown a good efficacy and safety for both cardioversion and sinus rhythm maintenance. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
