amiodarone and Arrhythmia, Sinoatrial

amiodarone has been researched along with Arrhythmia, Sinoatrial in 21 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.

" After restoration of sinus rhythm, several therapeutic protocols were used, often in the same patient: abstention, leading to 5 recurrences in 6 cases; treatment with betablockers in 12 patients with well tolerated or exercise-induced atrial tachycardia with 11 successes; amiodarone, with 4 relapses out of 5 when the dosage was less than 200 mg/m2/day and 13 successes out of 18 when the dosage was 200-250 mg/m2/day."1.29[Treatment and prognosis of tachyarrhythmia after atrial surgical repair of transposition of great vessels]. ( Aggoun, Y; Bonnet, D; Iserin, L; Kachaner, J; Sidi, D; Villain, E, 1996)
" Furthermore, amiodarone may interact with beta-blocking agents and some of the calcium antagonists to produce symptomatic sinus bradycardia and sinus arrest, especially in a latent or overt sick sinus syndrome."1.27Drug interactions with amiodarone. ( Marcus, FI, 1983)
"Fetal cardiac arrhythmias are usually first suspected on the basis of auscultatory findings during routine examination in pregnancy."1.27Treatment of fetal cardiac arrhythmias. ( Stewart, PA; Wladimiroff, JW, 1985)
