Calcium channel blockers are sometimes prescribed for atrial fibrillation to help lower the rapid heart rate. Calcium channel blockers also lower blood pressure, help control an irregular heartbeat, treat symptoms of angina and relax the heart. In some cases, calcium channel blockers are used to treat supraventricular tachycardia. Calcium channel blockers are available in short- and long-acting forms. Your doctor will determine the right calcium channel blocker and dosage to treat your problems related to atrial fibrillation. It's important to stay on this medication unless your doctor takes you off it.
