flecainide and Bradycardia

flecainide has been researched along with Bradycardia in 16 studies

Flecainide: A potent anti-arrhythmia agent, effective in a wide range of ventricular and atrial ARRHYTHMIAS and TACHYCARDIAS.
flecainide : A monocarboxylic acid amide obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of 2,5-bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)benzoic acid with the primary amino group of piperidin-2-ylmethylamine. An antiarrhythmic agent used (in the form of its acetate salt) to prevent and treat tachyarrhythmia (abnormal fast rhythm of the heart).

Bradycardia: Cardiac arrhythmias that are characterized by excessively slow HEART RATE, usually below 50 beats per minute in human adults. They can be classified broadly into SINOATRIAL NODE dysfunction and ATRIOVENTRICULAR BLOCK.

"Guidelines recommend that initial trial of a "pill-in-the-pocket" (PIP) Class 1C antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) for cardioversion of atrial fibrillation (AF) be performed in a monitored setting because of the potential for adverse reactions."1.72Safety of Pill-in-the-Pocket Class 1C Antiarrhythmic Drugs for Atrial Fibrillation.
