Safety of Outpatient Initiation of Disopyramide for Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Patients
BACKGROUND Disopyramide is effective in ameliorating symptoms in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; however, its potential for proarrhythmic effect has raised concerns about its use in the ambulatory setting. The risk of initiating disopyramide in this manner has never been evaluated. METHODS AND RESULTS All charts of patients seen in the outpatient hypertrophic cardiomyopathy clinic ...
متن کاملElectrophysiologic effects of disopyramide phosphate in patients with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
We evaluated the electrophysiologic effects of disopyramide phosphate in 12 patients with the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Electrophysiologic studies were performed during a control period and after administering i.v. disopyramide (four bolus doses of 9.5 mg/kg over 40 minutes superimposed on a continuous infusion at 1.0 mg/kg/hour). All patients were then restudied after 3 days on oral medi...
متن کاملKv1.5 open channel block by the antiarrhythmic drug disopyramide: molecular determinants of block.
Kv1.5 is considered to be a potential molecular target for treatment of atrial fibrillation or flutter. Disopyramide is widely used in the treatment of atrial flutter and/or atrial fibrillation. The present study was undertaken to characterize the effects of disopyramide on currents mediated by Kv1.5 channels and to determine the putative binding site involved in the inhibitory effects of disop...
متن کاملTHERAPY AND PREVENTION ARRHYlTHMI
This placebo-controlled, double-blind, longitudinal crossover study compares the efficacy of disopyramide and ethmozine, a new investigational drug, in suppressing frequent (40 or more per hour) ventricular premature depolarizations (VPDs) in 27 patients completing a 37 day protocol. Although both drugs significantly reduced VPDs relative to placebo, ethmozine was a superior antiarrhythmic drug...
متن کاملDisopyramide: clinical indications, pharmacokinetics and laboratory assessment.
Disopyramide is an antiarrhythmic drug similar to quinidine and used primarily to treat ventricular ectopic systoles. Unlike quinidine which shows drug-drug interaction with digoxin, disopyramide appears to be free of this problem. Side effects include anticholinergic symptoms, cardiovascular problems, and some gastrointestinal discomfort. Disopyramide is metabolized to N-desisopropyl disopyram...
