Features: With the continuous development of the evaluation of patients with arrhythmias, many older techniques have become obsolete or rarely used, while other techniques have become more important clinical tools, perhaps showing strong development momentum in the current management of arrhythmias. The results of many large-scale randomized trials have shown that many original treatment methods have undergone significant changes, characterized by the wider promotion of non-pharmacological treatment methods for arrhythmias, including ablation techniques and implantable devices. These measures have provided patients with more important treatment options and can achieve a "cure" effect in many cases. As these treatment technologies have advanced, the original treatment methods have undergone significant transformations. Non-pharmacological treatment methods have become the preferred treatment measures for controlling the majority of arrhythmias, while the use of antiarrhythmic drugs for the treatment of most cases has taken a subordinate position. Drugs are now commonly used as adjunctive rather than primary treatment methods, but they can promote or adjust the function of implantable devices and improve the efficacy of ablation procedures. Moreover, intravenous formulations of antiarrhythmic drugs have increasingly demonstrated significant benefits in the treatment of acute arrhythmias.
