    Abstract:
    Cibenzoline is a Vaughan-Williams class I anti-arrhythmic with properties intermediate between subclasses IA and IC which limit the incidence of proarrhythmic effects. These specific properties of the drug facilitate the prescription of cibenzoline in cardiology, particularly for the prevention of recurrent atrial arrhythmia: fibrillation, flutter, atrial tachycardia. This study demonstrates that cibenzoline is effective in these indications, since only 23% of the patients had relapsed after 6 months. This efficacy, combined with the good tolerance of the treatment, makes it possible to recommend the prescription of cibenzoline as a first-line treatment for the prevention of atrial arrhythmia. It represents an effective and safe option.
