In this review, we examine the data evaluating the role of adjuvant therapy with antiarrthymic drugs (AADs) in chronic suppression of ventricular tachyarrhythmias in the patient with an ICD. It must be noted that all uses of AADs for this indication represent "off-label" prescription. No AAD is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) specifically as a therapy to reduce ICD shocks.
