Flecainide acetate is a powerful antiarrhythmic initially used to treat ventricular arrhythmias. Despite an excess mortality in this indication and in the presence of heart disease, flecainide remains a good antiarrhythmic for supraventricular tachycardias in a healthy heart.
S Senior et al.
Heart & lung : the journal of critical care, 17(1), 76-80 (1988-01-01)
Flecainide may play an important role in the treatment of ventricular arrhythmias because of its convenient dosing regimen and high rate of efficacy in controlling ventricular ectopic activity. In stable patients with normal or mildly reduced left ventricular function, flecainide
Stavros Apostolakis et al.
Expert opinion on pharmacotherapy, 14(3), 347-357 (2013-01-09)
Flecainide is a class Ic antiarrhythmic agent available in Europe since 1982. The clinical development program of flecainide provided good data on its antiarrhythmic effect for the prevention of ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias. The Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial (CAST), conducted

Flecainide acetate depresses the rate of depolarization of action potential (Vmax), the so-called "membrane stabilizing action." In the intact heart it has a unique profile of substantial effect on conduction with modest effect on refractoriness. After intravenous administration, clinical electrophysiologic
