amiodarone and Atherosclerosis

amiodarone has been researched along with Atherosclerosis in 1 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.

Atherosclerosis: A thickening and loss of elasticity of the walls of ARTERIES that occurs with formation of ATHEROSCLEROTIC PLAQUES within the ARTERIAL INTIMA.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Amiodarone effectiveness was lowered by lipoprotein alpha-tocopherol enrichment, suggesting some drug-alpha-tocopherol interaction and less lipid pharmacological protection at higher alpha-tocopheroxyl radical generation."1.34Amiodarone inhibits tocopherol-mediated human lipoprotein peroxidation.
