Electrophysiologic effects of sotalol and amiodarone in patients with sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia.
No prospective studies have compared sotalol and amiodarone during electropharmacologic testing. The purpose of this prospective, randomized study was to compare the electrophysiologic effects of sotalol and amiodarone in patients with coronary artery disease and sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT). Patients with coronary artery disease and sustained monomorphic VT inducible by p...

متن کاملRight ventricular tachycardia: clinical and electrophysiologic characteristics.
This report describes the clinical and electrophysiologic characteristics of 30 patients without myocardial disease who had ventricular tachycardia with the morphologic characteristics of left bundle branch block and inferior axis. The tachycardias were nonsustained in 24 patients, sustained (greater than 30 sec) in six patients, and provocable by exercise in 14 of 23 patients undergoing a stan...
متن کاملVENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA Amiodarone versus amiodarone and a type IA agent for treatment of patients with rapid ventricular tachycardia
Induction of rapid ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation during therapy with amiodarone is associated with an increased risk of sudden death. To determine whether the addition of a type IA antiarrhythmic agent to therapy would improve outcome, 37 patients in whom ventricular tachyarrhythmia of a cycle length less than 350 msec was induced after 14 + 2 days of amiodarone were randomly assigned...
متن کاملLong-term management of sustained, recurrent, symptomatic ventricular tachycardia with amiodarone.
Twenty-three patients with sustained, recurrent, symptomatic ventricular tachycardia were treated with oral amiodarone. Initial doses were 600-2000 mg/day and maintenance doses were 200-1200 mg/day. Amiodarone was highly effective in 20 patients (87%), seven of whom had a follow-up of 30 months or longer, including two who were followed for 5 years. Three patients died within the first 45 days,...
