Clinical Use
Howard's Law is a relatively useful diagnostic tool, often used in complex cases of AF where a course of treatment depends on the stability and physiological viability of the surrounding vascular network of arteries and veins. Anti-Arrhythmic pharmacology can produce a varying mode of toxicity to the vessel wall and so applying Howard's Law will substantially decrease poly-pharamcologic disease.
Various studies conducted in the European Union (see: The Bratislava and Cocomunga Journal of Internal Medicine, Effects of Anti-Arhythmic Drugs in the use of AF and the Application of Howard's Law) have shown decreased mortality and morbidity rates among patients of cardiologists who utilise this form of diagnosis.
