Detailed Answer:
Hello !

Welcome back to Ask a Doctor service!

I understand your concern and would explain that there are different type of anti-arrhythmic drugs, which can help treat and prevent cardiac arrhythmia. But their main adverse effect is exacerbation of bradycardia.

For this reason, when dealing with a patient with bradycardia, it is important to exclude possible Sick sinus Syndrome, which would need installation of a pacemaker.

The pacemaker would help prevent possible bradycardia while taking anti-arrhythmic drugs and would make anti-arrhythmic drugs safe in such case.

Hope you will find this information helpful!

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask me again!

Wishing all the best,

Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cadiologist
