Amiodarone is a class III antiarrhythmic; however it has several properties of the antiarrhythmics of class I, II and IV. It blocks the rapid deactivated sodium channels, as well as the potassium and calcium channels. Amiodarone non-competitively antagonizes the effects of alpha and beta adrenergic receptors. Amiodarone has an effect on heart’s specific conductance system and as such it has a distinguished and safe effect on cardiac rhythm disorders.
