Elevation of ventricular defibrillation threshold in dogs by antiarrhythmic drugs.
Effects of antiarrhythmic drugs upon the threshold delivered energy (TDE) and threshold peak current (TPC) for electrical ventricular defibrillation by damped sinusoidal shocks were investigated in 25 pentobarbital-anesthetized dogs. TDE and TPC were increased by the three antiarrhytmic drugs tested. Bolus injections produced a transient rise and continuous infusions produced a steady rise in d...
متن کاملRoutine tests should be challenged in cardiology.
The need for routine diagnostic tests and procedures needs to be challenged in medical practice, because of continuous pressure to reduce the costs of health care systems. If costs can be minimized by avoidance of routine tests, more sources can perhaps be directed to new advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. This challenge is important particularly in cardiology, because while new di...
متن کاملPacemaker-ICD/Drug Interaction
When a drug is prescribed for a patient with a permanent pacemaker or an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), consideration must be given to the potential interactions. Drug effect on pacemaker performance is usually thought to cause an increase or decrease in pacing threshold. From a practical view, Class IC drugs must be used cautiously in pacemaker patients, especially in those who ...
متن کاملThe effect of newer antiarrhythmic drugs on defibrillation threshold.
This study was conducted to determine the effects of clofilium phosphate and bretylium tosylate on ventricular defibrillation threshold. Dogs were anesthetized with pentobarbital and subjected to repeated fibrillation-defibrillation episodes. Defibrillation thresholds were determined at 15-min intervals, using underdamped 5--6 msec sinusoidal current shocks, from 30 min before drug injection to...
متن کاملClinical characteristics and outcome of patients with high defibrillation thresholds. A multicenter study.
BACKGROUND Successful defibrillation by an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) depends on its ability to deliver shocks that exceed the defibrillation threshold. This study was designed to identify clinical characteristics that may predict the finding of an elevated defibrillation threshold and to describe the outcome of patients with high defibrillation thresholds. METHODS AND RESUL...
