The answer to the question above is this: Monitoring the patient's blood pressure. The drug amiodarone is an antiarrhythmic medication and this is commonly prescribed to treat ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. However, this medication is only used in emergency cases as this has also dangerous side effects. Since Amiodarone is an antiarrhythmic medication, this can affect one's blood pressure. Amiodarone can result in a lower blood pressure, thus, it is best to monitor this too.
