In terms of scientific perspective, the Cordarone drug is known as Amiodarone, The Cordarone drugs is classified or categorize under a new drug group known as anti-arrhythmic drugs. The drug is mainly used as a treatment and prescription for patient suffering from irregular heart beats. The usage of the drug is mainly to sure that the patient will have a normal heart beat rather than a faster one will could be life threatening. Patients with life threatening heart beat disorders are mainly due to the ventricles in the heart that allowing the blood to flow out of the heart. The drugs are to ensure that the ventricles will function as normal by not allowing the dangerous blood flow (out from the heart.)
The Cordarone drugs in mainly used in two major conditions which are ventricular tachycardia and also for ventricular fibrillation. The ventricular tachycardia is where the heart produces a fast rhythm while beating caused by one of the ventricular of the heart which may lead to ventricular fibrillation and even death. On the other hand, ventricular fibrillation is where when the heart beats, electrical signal moves through it. Therefore, the ventricular fibrillation occurs the heart’s electrical activity becomes disordered. In this condition the heart pumps from little to no blood which is a dangerous condition which can lead to death.
