Compliance with the north American Society of Pacing and Electrophysiology guidelines on amiodarone monitoring in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: a retrospective charts review study.

The compliance with the guideline recommendations related to amiodarone baseline assessments was optimal for all the baseline tests, except for TFT. However, the proportion of patients who received all the recommended baseline assessments was minimal. In addition, the performance of on-going monitoring was suboptimal for all the follow-up tests. Improvements could be made by establishing a local protocol for amiodarone monitoring and pharmacists participating in amiodarone therapy assessments.
