Antiarrhythmic activity, electrocardiographic effects and pharmacokinetics of the encainide metabolites O-desmethyl encainide and 3-methoxy-O-desmethyl encainide in man.
Although encainide is an effective antiarrhythmic agent, plasma concentrations and pharmacologic effects are not well correlated. One explanation is the generation of active metabolites: while in most patients (extensive metabolizers; EMs) concentrations of the metabolites O-desmethyl encainide (ODE) and 3-methoxy-O-desmethyl encainide (3MODE) are higher than those of encainide, a small subset ...
متن کاملComparison of Group and Individual Training on the Patients’ Compliance and Incidence of Warfarin Side Effects after Cardiac Valve Replacement
Introduction: Oral anticoagulant therapies are intended for prevention of thrombotic adverse effects and to maintain the level of drug without bleeding. The probability of risk highly depends on the patient compliance after discharge from hospital. This study was designed to compare the effect of group and individual education on patients’ compliance and incidence of adverse effects of warfarin...

متن کاملAntiarrhythmic efficacy of encainide in patients with refractory recurrent ventricular tachycardia.
Encainide is a new agent for treating ventricular arrhythmias. We attempted long-term oral therapy with encainide in 38 patients with recurrent, strikingly drug-refractory ventricular tachycardia. The usual daily dose of encainide ws 150-250 mg divided into four or six doses. The mean period until withdrawal of encainide or the date of follow-up was 4.2 months. Encainide completely eliminated r...
