If you are referring to atrial fibrillation, there are several medications used to prevent recurrence, or to control the heart rate.
If you are referring to ventricular fibrillation, correction and prevention frequently requires the insertion of a defibrillator and possibly a pacemaker. If you are having frequent ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation, your heart is very damaged and a defibrillator/pacemaker may be the only way to prevent sudden death.

What is the medical term for cardiac arrhythmia?
Cardiac arrhythmia refers to abnormal heart rhythm, as measured with an ECG. A "normal" rhythms is called a "Sinus Rhythm", as it originates in the Sinoatrial node of the heart. Any rhythm that originates elsewhere, or deviates from what is considered "normal" is an arrhythmia. There are many types of arrhythmia. On a cardiac monitor, if we see beats that are abnormal, we call the ectopy, or ectopic beats. But as far as a "term for arrhythmia"... that's the term: Arrhythmia.
