Ventricular tachycardia clinical significance

Clinical use of amiodarone is limited because of its high toxicity, which consists of cardiac block, bradycardia, cardiac insufficiency, damaged thyroid gland function, neuropathology, and increased sensitivity to light, all of which significantly limit use of amiodarona, and it is only used in therapy for extremely serious tachyarrhythmias such as reoccurring ventricular fibrillation and hemodynamic unstable ventricular tachycardia, and only under supervision of a physician in a clinical situation. Synonyms of amiodarone are cordarone, rythmarone, and others.
