the finding that indicates the drug is having the desired effect would be: The number of premature ventricular contractions is decreasing

Amiodarone is a drug that is used to treats patient who suffered because of irregular heartbeat.
Irregular heartbeat could be counted by counting the number of premature ventricular contractions.
If these premature contractions is decreasing after we inject the drug, that we can conclude that the drug is taking an effect
