Amiodarone is a first-line agent for patients with decompensated heart failure. Amiodarone has side effects including thyroid disease, hepatic dysfunction, lung disease, neurologic dysfunction and bradycardia and should be reserved for patients with coronary artery disease with heart failure, moderate to severe systolic dysfunction, or hypertension with significant left ventricle hypertrophy.
