amiodarone and Acute Coronary Syndrome

amiodarone has been researched along with Acute Coronary Syndrome in 9 studies

Amiodarone: An antianginal and class III antiarrhythmic drug. It increases the duration of ventricular and atrial muscle action by inhibiting POTASSIUM CHANNELS and VOLTAGE-GATED SODIUM CHANNELS. There is a resulting decrease in heart rate and in vascular resistance.
amiodarone : A member of the class of 1-benzofurans that is 1-benzofuran substituted by a butyl group at position 2 and a 4-[2-(diethylamino)ethoxy]-3,5-diiodobenzoyl group at position 3. It is a cardiovascular drug used for the treatment of cardiac dysrhythmias.

Acute Coronary Syndrome: An episode of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA that generally lasts longer than a transient anginal episode that ultimately may lead to MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.

"Patients with persistent or paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and at least 1 risk factor for cardiovascular hospitalization were randomized to receive dronedarone (400 mg BID) or double-blind matching placebo and followed up for a minimum of 1 year to a common termination at 30 months."7.75Analysis of stroke in ATHENA: a placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-arm trial to assess the efficacy of dronedarone 400 mg BID for the prevention of cardiovascular hospitalization or death from any cause in patients with atrial fibrillation/atrial ( Connolly, SJ; Crijns, HJ; Gaudin, C; Hohnloser, SH; Page, RL; Torp-Pedersen, C; van Eickels, M, 2009)
"Several key reports from the American Heart Association meeting, held in Orlando (FL, USA) in November 2011, are presented related to anti-thrombotic therapy in acute coronary syndrome and the use of dronedarone in permanent atrial fibrillation is discussed in this brief (and selective) overview of this meeting."3.78Highlights of the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2011: a focus on ATLAS-TIMI 51, TRACER and PALLAS.
