Your father sounds like he has been appropriately treated and cordarone is an excellent drug to use to control the rhythym. However, if he hasn't had an echocardiogram or a blood test for hyperthyroidism, those tests should be considered. Also, it's good that he's going to be seeing a cardiologist. Hopefully, with treatment of the pneumonia and further tests as dictated by your cardiologist, your father can resume his previous lifestyle. I hope you find this information helpful.
