Safety observation of antiarrhythmic drug use in a patient with sinus bradycardia following atrial fibrillation radiofrequency ablation combined with cardiac neural ablation: a case report.

This study assessed the safety of Antiarrhythmic Drug (AAD) administration in a patient experiencing sinus bradycardia following radiofrequency ablation for Atrial Fibrillation (AF), followed by cardiac ganglion ablation. Post-AF radiofrequency ablation, the employment of AADs is a prevalent clinical practice; however, these drugs may exacerbate bradycardia, leading to increased patient discomfort and treatment complexity. The decision to employ AADs in patients with sinus bradycardia post-AF ablation poses a significant clinical challenge. This investigation aimed to ascertain the safety of AADs in such patients. The study encompassed a single case, wherein a patient with pre- and post-procedure sinus bradycardia was treated with AADs following AF radiofrequency ablation and cardiac ganglion ablation, with a subsequent safety assessment. The findings indicate that AADs can be safely administered to patients with sinus bradycardia after these procedures, offering valuable insights for clinical decision-making. This case report underscores the intricacies of post-AF ablation management in patients with sinus bradycardia and advocates for personalized therapeutic strategies. The results enhance the clinical knowledge regarding the safety of AADs in this patient subset and may guide future treatment protocols. Nonetheless, the study's conclusions are drawn from a single case, and further research with larger cohorts is essential to substantiate these findings and elucidate the long-term safety and efficacy of this therapeutic approach.
