alprenolol and Ventricular Fibrillation

alprenolol has been researched along with Ventricular Fibrillation in 5 studies

Alprenolol: One of the ADRENERGIC BETA-ANTAGONISTS used as an antihypertensive, anti-anginal, and anti-arrhythmic agent.
alprenolol : A secondary alcohol that is propan-2-ol substituted by a 2-allylphenoxy group at position 1 and an isopropylamino group at position 3. It is a beta-adrenergic antagonist used as a antihypertensive, anti-arrhythmia and a sympatholytic agent.

Ventricular Fibrillation: A potentially lethal cardiac arrhythmia that is characterized by uncoordinated extremely rapid firing of electrical impulses (400-600/min) in HEART VENTRICLES. Such asynchronous ventricular quivering or fibrillation prevents any effective cardiac output and results in unconsciousness (SYNCOPE). It is one of the major electrocardiographic patterns seen with CARDIAC ARREST.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The author describes the notions that led to initiation of controlled trials of long-term medication with antiarrhythmic drugs following myocardial infarction, and reviews reports of controlled trials with diphenylhydantoin, alprenolol, and procaine amide."3.65Arrhythmia prophylaxis: Long-term suppressive medication. ( Lovell, RR, 1975)
"The preparation arrested the auricular arrhythmias caused by electric stimulation of the auricles or by aconitine application, eliminated the auricular arrhythmias resulting from occlusion of a branch of the coronary artery or oubaine intoxication, prevented lethal auricular fibrillation in rats after the calcium chloride intoxication."1.26[Anti-arrhythmic activity of the beta2-adrenoblockader alpheprol]. ( Gendenshteĭn, EI; Kostin, IV; Simon, IB, 1976)
