amiodarone and Cardiovascular Diseases

amiodarone has been researched along with Cardiovascular Diseases in 49 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.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Pathological conditions involving the CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM including the HEART; the BLOOD VESSELS; or the PERICARDIUM.

"Time to second co-primary outcome was defined as the time from randomization to the first event among unscheduled cardiovascular hospitalization or death from any cause.~Cumulative incidence function in each treatment group was calculated using non-parametric Kaplan-Meier estimate.~95% confidence interval was computed at each time-point using Greenwood's variance estimation." (NCT01151137)
Timeframe: From randomization up to the CSED which occurred at study termination (maximum follow-up of 1 year)
