Diphenylhydantoin in the prevention of recurring ventricular tachycardia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
was uniformly ineffective in preventing recurrence of ventricular tachycardia despite the presence of what is regarded as adequate therapeutic plasma concentrations (greater than 19.0 gg/ml in five patients, 10.8 18.0 ,ug/ml in the remaining five) shortly after onset of ventricular tachycardia. Nystagmus was noted in eight patients, but plasma diphenylhydantoin levels varied widely (8.6 35.0 ,ug/ml) when this sign of neurotoxicity was first detected.

an average of 155 watt-seconds was required to produce ventricular tachycardia. Immediately after recovery from digitalis toxicity, an average of 23 watt-seconds produced ventricular tachycardia. The administration of diphenylhydantoin at this time immediately increased the threshold required for ventricular tachycardia to an average of 363 watt-seconds. In eight studies, diphenylhydantoin was ...
متن کاملInfluence of diphenylhydantoin on electrophysiological properties of the canine heart.
These studies were designed to examine the electrophysiological effects of diphenylhydantoin (Dilantin) on the heart of awake dogs. Recording electrodes were implanted over the sinoatrial node, bundle of His, and right bundle branch, and studies were performed 2 to 6 weeks following recovery. Diphenylhydantoin (10 mg/kg) increased heart rate, shortened A-V conduction time and had little or no e...
متن کاملElectrophysiological effects of direct current countershock before and after ouabain sensitization and after diphenylhydantoin desensitization in the dog.
The effects of synchronized direct current countershock on ventricular automaticity, intraventricular conduction, and atrioventricular conduction were studied before and after ouabain administration and after diphenylhydantoin. At the level of electrical energy that induced ventricular arrhythmias, averaging 159 watt-seconds, countershock transiently increased ventricular automaticity and prolo...

was studied in relation to its plasma levels. DPH was administered in one of three ways: (1) multiple intravenous doses, (2) single intravenous doses, and (3) oral doses. Ventricular arrhythmias occurring in many clinical conditions and atrial tachycardia, particularly if caused by digitalis excess, responded well to treatment with DPH. Three fourths of the responsive arrhythmias were abolished...
