amiodarone and Alcohol Abuse

amiodarone has been researched along with Alcohol Abuse in 4 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.

"Antiarrhythmic effects of cordarone, ethacizine, and obsidan were evaluated in 30 patients with chronic alcoholism in whom premature ventricular contractions were recorded at a rate of at least of 5 per minute by 30-minute ECG monitoring when they were admitted to a narcologic hospital, having the alcohol withdrawal syndrome."7.68[Effectiveness of single intravenous administration of cordarone, ethacizine and obsidan in ventricular extrasystole in patients with chronic alcoholism during withdrawal].
