<p>Amiodarone Hydrochloride is used to correct abnormal rhythms of the heart. Amiodarone is considered a &quot;broad spectrum&quot; antiarrhythmic medication. The most important electrical effects of the drug includes : a delay in the rate at which the heart&rsquo;s electrical system &quot;recharges&quot; after the heart contracts (repolarisation); a prolongation in the electrical phase during which the heart&rsquo;s muscle cells are electrically stimulated (action potential); a slowing of the speed of electrical conduction (how fast each individual impulse is conducted through the heart&rsquo;s electrical system); a reduction in the rapidity of firing of the normal generator of electrical impulses in the heart (the heart&rsquo;s pacemaker); and a slowing of conduction through various specialised electrical pathways (called accessory pathways). In addition to being an antiarrhythmic medication, Amiodarone also causes blood vessels to dilate. Because of this effect it also may be of benefit in patients with&nbsp; congestive heart failure. This effect can result in drop of blood pressure.</p>
