    Sim I, McDonald KM, Lavori PW, Norbutas CM, Hlatky MA. Circulation. 1997; 96 (9): 2823-9

    Some randomized clinical trials of amiodarone therapy to prevent sudden cardiac death have had positive results and others have had negative results, but all were relatively small. This meta-analysis aimed to pool all trials to assess the effect of amiodarone on mortality and the impact of differences in patient population and study design on trial outcomes.
