BRIEF REVIEW Antiarrhythmic drugs in resuscitation
Drugs play a prominent part in the management of cardiorespiratory arrest, although rigid clinical evidence to demonstrate their value is sparse. Their use depends principally on tradition, on an unproven expectation that antiarrhythmic eVects are likely to be beneficial for potentially lethal arrhythmias as well as for less malignant conditions, and on extrapolation from animal experiments. Ir...
متن کاملAntiarrhythmic drugs.
Most patients with cardiac arrhythmias require treatment with antiarrhythmic drugs, although recent advances in surgical and electrical techniques are promising. The ideal antiarrhythmic compound should have: (1) A wide range of therapeutic activity in both atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. (2) Parenteral and oral formulations to permit simple dosage schedules. (3) Pharmacokinetic properties ...
متن کاملAntiarrhythmic Drugs
Cardiac arrhythmias result from alterations in the orderly sequence of depolarization followed by repolarization in the heart. Cardiac arrhythmias may result in alterations in heart rate or rhythm and arise from alterations in impulse generation or conduction. The clinical implications of disordered cardiac activation range from asymptomatic palpitations to lethal arrhythmia. Pharmacological ma...
متن کاملAntiarrhythmic drugs: present and future.
The treatment of cardiac arrhythmias has undergone a sea change with the advent of catheter ablative procedures (radiofrequency ablation) and use of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). The antiarrhythmic drugs at times are used to prevent device related arrhythmia rather than being used for primary treatment of arrhythmias. Antiarrhythmic drugs are grouped according to their drug acti...
متن کاملUse of antiarrhythmic drugs in elderly patients
Human aging is a global issue with important implications for current and future incidence and prevalence of health conditions and disability. Cardiac arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation, sudden cardiac death, and bradycardia requiring pacemaker placement, all increase exponentially after the age of 60. It is important to distinguish between the normal, physiological consequences of agin...
