Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of treating cardiac arrhythmia with electronic monitoring in a timely manner. Also disclosed herein are systems for electronic monitoring of cardiac arrhythmia.

Abstract: Methods of treating atrial arrhythmia include administering an effective amount of at least one antiarrhythmic pharmaceutical agent to a patient in need thereof, such that the at least one antiarrhythmic pharmaceutical agent first enters the heart through the pulmonary vein to the left atrium. Other methods of treating atrial arrhythmia include administering by inhalation an effective amount of at least one antiarrhythmic pharmaceutical agent to a patient in need thereof. An amount of the at least one antiarrhythmic pharmaceutical agent may peak in the coronary sinus of the heart at a time ranging from 10 seconds to 30 minutes from initiation of the administering. Unit doses, aerosols, and kits are also contemplated.

Abstract: A method of treating and/or providing prophylaxis against a pulmonary fungal infection comprises delivering an aerosolized pharmaceutical formulation comprising an antifungal agent to the lungs. The method comprises determining the minimum inhibitory concentration of the antifungal agent for inhibiting pulmonary fungal growth. A sufficient amount of the pharmaceutical formulation is administered to maintain for a period of time a target antifungal agent lung concentration that is greater than the determined minimum inhibitory concentration. In one version, the antifungal agent is amphotericin B.
