INTRODUCTION The Resuscitation 2000 Guidelines recommends amiodarone as the antiarrhythmic drug of choice in treatment of resistant ventricular fibrillation (VF) or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT). Amiodarone has been associated with side-effects and difficulty of administration, due to recommended dilution, rendering it suboptimal for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (CA) management. In t...
Amiodarone inhibits the metabolism of warfarin. Previous studies characterizing this drug interaction have focused on the effect of adding amiodarone to stable doses of warfarin. The objective of this study was to assess whether simultaneous initiation of warfarin and amiodarone results in early alteration of the international normalized ratio (INR) response to warfarin. Patients initiated on w...
Amiodarone is an effective medication used in the treatment of several different arrhythmias. Its most well-known adverse effects include pulmonary fibrosis, thyroid dysfunction, and hepatotoxicity. A less common side effect is acute pancreatitis. A 67-year-old male being treated for atrial fibrillation in rapid ventricular response with Amiodarone developed acute epigastric abdominal pain 24 h...
a square array of 64 closely spaced electrodes and a computer-assisted acquisition and analysis system. Amiodarone caused a rate-dependent decrease in conduction velocity with a slightly greater effect in the longitudinal direction of propagation. Rate-related depression of conduction velocity developed rapidly after abrupt shortening of the pacing cycle length; 67% of the change occurred betwe...
Twenty two patients with heart failure were studied in a double blind crossover trial to compare amiodarone (200 mg/day) with placebo. Each agent was given for three months. Extrasystoles and complex ventricular arrhythmias were common during ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring and during exercise testing at entry to the study. Breathlessness and tiredness as assessed by visual analogue ...
BACKGROUND Fetal tachycardia complicated by ventricular dysfunction and hydrops fetalis carries a significant risk of morbidity and mortality. Transplacental digoxin is effective therapy in a small percentage, but there is no consensus with regard to antiarrhythmic treatment if digoxin fails. This study evaluates the safety, efficacy, and outcome of amiodarone therapy for digoxin-refractory fet...
It has been suggested that some of the effects of long-term amiodarone therapy may be due to accumulation of a metabolite, desethylamiodarone. To evaluate the pharmacologic actions of the metabolite, we gave single intravenous doses (10 or 25 mg/kg) of amiodarone or desethylamiodarone to anesthetized dogs. The resulting plasma and myocardial concentrations of both agents were similar to levels ...
Change of interval-force dependence of rat papillary muscles at acute and course use of amiodarone was investigated. Methods: The experiments were performed on isolated papillary muscles of Wistar rats. The extrasystolic (0.2 1.5 s), postextrasystolic contractions and post-rest (4 60 s) reactions of rat left papillary muscles perfused Krebs-Henseleit solution with amiodarone (1 μM) and papillar...
Extracellular matrix components play an active role in cancer progression and prognosis. Versican, a large extracellular matrix proteoglycan, can promote cancer metastasis through facilitating cell proliferation, adhesion, migration and angiogenesis. We had previously demonstrated that amiodarone caused ectopic overexpression of similar to versican b (s-vcanb), inhibited EGFR/GSK3β/Snail signal...
BACKGROUND Postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF) occurs in up to 50% of patients undergoing coronary artery bypass (CABG) surgery and is associated with complications. Amiodarone and beta blockers are effective as prophylaxis for AF after CABG. The purpose of this study was to compare oral amiodarone versus oral bisoprolol for prevention of AF after CABG. METHODS In this randomized study, 20...
