Intravenous amiodarone for incessant tachyarrhythmias in children: a randomized, double-blind, antiarrhythmic drug trial.
BACKGROUND Intravenous (IV) amiodarone has proven efficacy in adults. However, its use in children is based on limited retrospective data. METHODS AND RESULTS A double-blind, randomized, multicenter, dose-response study of the safety and efficacy of IV amiodarone was conducted in 61 children (30 days to 14.9 years; median, 1.6 years). Children with incessant tachyarrhythmias (supraventricular...
متن کاملComparison of efficacy of sotalol and nifekalant for ventricular tachyarrhythmias.
BACKGROUND Suppression of implantable defibrillator discharges associated with ventricular tachyarrhythmia (VTA) has been reported for sotalol. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of intravenous nifekalant hydrochloride in predicting the effects of oral sotalol. METHODS AND RESULTS The present study included 14 patients who had sustained VTA associated with structural heart disease. ...
متن کاملIntravenous lidocaine versus intravenous amiodarone (in a new aqueous formulation) for incessant ventricular tachycardia.
The effectiveness of intravenous amiodarone for the treatment of incessant (shock resistant) ventricular tachycardia (VT) has not been established. This study evaluated the efficacy of a water-soluble amiodarone preparation or lidocaine for the treatment of shock-resistant VT. The trial was a double-blinded parallel design. Patients were randomized to receive up to 2 boluses of either 150 mg in...
متن کاملUse of intravenous sotalol in newborns with supraventricular tachycardia
Introduction Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) in the newborn population is a common arrhythmia that can at times be difficult to treat, with long-standing persistent SVT resulting in tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy. Certain arrhythmic substrates, like ectopic atrial tachycardia (EAT), can be refractory to commonly used antiarrhythmics and may not be responsive to cardioversion. It is there...
متن کاملElectrophysiologic and antiarrhythmic effects of sotalol in patients with life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias.
Sotalol is a unique beta-blocker that lengthens cardiac repolarization and effective refractory period (ERP). Its efficacy after intravenous (1.5 mg/kg) and oral (160 to 480 mg bid) administration was therefore evaluated in 37 patients with refractory recurrent ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation (VT/VF). Thirty-five patients, 33 with inducible VT/VF, underwent electrophysiologic testing. Intr...
