Excellent presentation and thought provoking.

My Dad is fighting for his life because of amiodarone.

Thank you so much. You are by far the best cardiologist in the world. I have been an ER nurse for 10 years, and just listening to you casually has helped my EKG knowledge so much. Your information, and delivery, are priceless

Excellent lecture, pl continue.

Great vid!

Superb speaker always and great communicator

Thanks for this video, very informative!

Thank you for posting this video. It is quite informative for the patients with AFib.

1 minute, 57 seconds in and I already love this video!  Put everyone on Amiodarone....  hahaha.
But seriously, I was never impressed by this drug.  I couldn't understand why everyone was in love with it.  

I love this drug its saves many life without knowing about it .

This drug was given to a 4day old baby #justiceforriqaun mommy love and miss you son uninformed consent clinical trial, North Carolina Wilmington

1:20 Amiodarone is not class iib ... it's class iii

A m glad finally telling the truth about amiodarone!! I was taken this medication more than a year for a AFB and I hade so many quite serious side effects!!  I m no longer taking this medication and a m feel better now

This is such an evidence free zone

It all depends on the patient- every drug is efficient if used corectly and at the correct time.....there is no bad drug, just bad circumstances....
For every example given here, there are millions other examples where amiodarone proved its efficency....
It still used in some swiss protocol....
Its dangerous to label a drug as bad.....its all dependes on human decision where you use it, there is no bad drug...

My nephew was recently diagnosed with ACTA 2 GENE, and had FOUR ANEURYSMS (2 BRAIN) and DVT (was on Heparin IV while in hospital). He is only 27 years old, but he is a heavy drinker, smoker, and his diet consists of a lot of fast food, he perfers soda over water (although, he is now on a 2.5 liter liquid request) and hadn't exercised much.

He has just been prescribed the following drugs; some of which counteract/interact with each other:

LIDOCAINE (5% PATCHES, 12 hrs)
AMIODARONE hcl (200 mg, once a day)
PREDNISONE (10 mg, & 5 mg, once a day)
METOPROLOL TARTATE (50 mg, twice a day)
SPIRONOLACTONE (25 mg, once a day)
FUROSEMIDE (40 mg, twice a day)
WARFARIN SODIUM (5 mg, twice, nightly)
ASPIRIN (81 mg, once daily)

VITAMIN C (CVS, 500 mg)
ZINC (220 mg)

I am concerned about the possible side effects and drug interactions.  He also said that he has gynecomastia which may be genetic (father also has it) but Spironolactone may also contribute and/or exacerbate gynecomastia.
Also, the dose of zinc seems high.  I also wonder if vitamin B complex, a liver supplement/nutraceutical, and co-Q 10 would benefit him.

🙄 everything was learnt the hard way... and all 🔪🪓🧨💣⚔️🗡🔫against Amiodarone.
