Core Tip	Flecainide acetate is recommended as one of the first line antiarrhythmic drugs in patients with atrial fibrillation and/or supraventricular tachycardias for the restoration and maintance of sinus rhythm. Based on the Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial study results, flecainide is contraindicated for patients with structural heart disease due to high proarrhythmic risk. Recent data support the role of flecainide in preventing ventricular tachyarrhythmias in patients with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia associated both with ryanodine receptor and calsequestrin mutations.
