The present invention also provide a method for treating or preventing conditions which respond to the inhibition of potassium channels or currents, such as cardiac arrhythmias and more especially atrial arrhythmias. The present invention further includes pharmaceutical formulations and a process of making a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of certain isoquinolinone or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrates, solvates, crystal forms, and stereoisomers thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
