Taurine and Arginine

Has anyone ever looked into or tried forms of Nitric oxide for your arrythmias. I stumbled across this idea reading another forum and someone mentioned it because they were taking a pre-workout supplement that contained these ingredients. Nobody really knew if anything and Google search I found a few things and this article here:
http://george-eby-research.com/html/taurine-l-arginine-arrhythmias.html

I also contacted a company that creates a product that specializes in selling a product for heart patients and they sent me to there FAQ that reads

"

The benefits of L-arginine are many, however when it comes to irregular heartbeats, also known as arrhythmia, L-arginine is a wonder supplement. Quite a lot of research has been committed to the benefits of L-arginine in relation to high blood pressure, arterial blockage, atherosclerosis, peripheral artery disease, and heart attacks and stroke. Considering all of these conditions stem from blood circulation, it stands to reason that L-arginine would have great benefits for arrhythmia as well.

L-Arginine and Arrhythmia

Some of the most popular research on arrhythmia and L-arginine stems from a 2009 study conducted at the George Eby Research Institutes in Austin, Texas. In the study, researchers reviewed case histories of patients with ‘frequent irregular heartbeats,’ or arrhythmia, finding a ‘wealth of literature supporting the amino acid arginine as a common nutrient deficient in people with irregular heartbeats.’

According to their research, adding 4 to 6 grams of arginine immediately terminated essentially all remaining pauses and premature atrial contractions, and combined with taurine was able to completely stop all commonly caused irregular heartbeats.

L-Arginine and Heart Metabolism

L-arginine is essential to the body’s production of nitric oxide, a key element in proper circulation. However, an amazing benefit of L-arginine is its ability to restore sinus rhythm, or the normal beating of the heart."

Anyway just wondering anyones take on this or if any of you have tried
