Clinical trials
Basel Antiarrhythmic Study of Infarct Survival. A Swiss trial assessing the effects of antiarrhythmics—primarily amiodarone—on morbidity and mortality in survivors of acute MI with asymptomatic complex ventricular ectopy/Lown class-3 or 4b arrhythmias by Holter monitoring, comparing efficacy of individualised antiarrhythmic therapy vs low-dose amiodarone vs no drug therapy.
Conclusion
Low-dose amiodarone significantly reduces the incidence of arrhythmic events and mortality in the 1st post-MI year in patients with left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 40%, without increasing adverse effects; amiodarone’s benefits continued for years after discontinuing the drug—the risk of death after 84 months was 30% in amiodarone patients and 45% in untreated patients.
Logistics
Randomised, 3-centre Swiss trial; 312 patients—100 individual treatment, 98 amiodarone, 114 none.
Selection criteria
Survivors of acute MI, < age 71 with ventricular ectopy on Holter, monitoring 24 hours after discontinuing antiarrhythmic agents.

Q. Is there any supplement which I can use on a daily basis to cure the disease? I have thyroid deficiency from childhood. Now I could see enlargement of the glad in the front neck. What is the reason for deficiency and is there any supplement which I can use on a daily basis to cure the disease?
A. Salt with Iodine content is the best supplement for your problem. Consult with your physician and try to get medicines to take care of thyroid imbalance. Goiter is the enlargement of the thyroid gland appearing as a swelling of the front neck. Iodine deficiency is one of the several causes. So make sure to have sufficient Iodine in your diet.
Q. Can you please tell me how much you eat on a daily basis and also what you eat. Thanks. I’m currently 32 weeks pregnant; I like to know the diet I must consume and what would be the best choice? Just want to compare my pregnancy diet to other people out there who are also pregnant. So if anyone is roughly of the same stage can you please tell me how much you eat on a daily basis and also what you eat. Thanks.
A. Hi, my daughter is now 29 weeks pregnant; I advised her to take healthy food. Try to take lean meat, fish, poultry, and egg whites, beans which have more protein. Take potatoes, pasta, fruits, vegetables which give more energy. This will make you and your baby healthy and strong.
