Atrial fibrillation and the pharmacological treatment: the role of propafenone.
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation is the most frequent cardiac rhythm disturbance, with prevalence increasing with age. This disease is a major risk factor for ischaemic stroke. The costs resulting from atrial fibrillation are really impressive. Pharmacological agents are the first line therapy for the management of atrial fibrillation. Antiarrhythmic drugs are used to terminate arrhythmias, as ac...
متن کاملAtrial-selective sodium channel block strategy to suppress atrial fibrillation: ranolazine versus propafenone.
Ranolazine has been shown to produce atrial-selective depression of sodium channel-dependent parameters and suppress atrial fibrillation (AF) in a variety of experimental models. The present study contrasts the effects of ranolazine and those of a clinically used anti-AF class IC agent, propafenone. Electrophysiological and anti-AF effects of propafenone and ranolazine were compared at clinical...
متن کاملProarrhythmia Induced by Propafenone: What is the Mechanism?
Propafenone, a Class IC antiarrhythmic drug, is an orally active sodium channel-blocking agent. It is effective in supraventricular tachyarrhythmias and is particularly useful in converting atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm. In therapeutic doses, it may cause non-cardiac and cardiac toxicity, including proarrhythmia.
متن کاملAn acute experimental model demonstrating 2 different forms of sustained atrial tachyarrhythmias.
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to develop an acute experimental model showing both focal and macroreentrant sustained atrial fibrillation (AF). METHODS AND RESULTS In 31 anesthetized dogs, bilateral thoracotomies allowed the attachment of electrode catheters at the right and left superior pulmonary veins, atrial free walls, and atrial appendages. Acetylcholine, 100 mmol/L, was app...
متن کاملAcute direct effects of cyclosporine on extracellular field potential of isolated rabbit AV node during experimental atrial fibrillation
Introduction: Previous studies have indicated a relationship between MPTP pore and AV nodal rate-dependent properties. The aim of present study was to determine acute direct effects of cyclosporine on extracellular field potential of isolated rabbit AV node during experimental atrial fibrillation. Methods: In one group of male New Zealand rabbits (1.5-2.5 kg) cumulative concentrations of cyc...
