amiodarone and Pulmonary Sarcoidosis

amiodarone has been researched along with Pulmonary Sarcoidosis in 2 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.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Cells were obtained from patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (n = 10), patients with sarcoidosis (n = 20), and patients receiving amiodarone without evidence of clinical lung disease (n = 10) as well as from normal volunteers (n = 8)."3.68Alveolar macrophage surface carbohydrate expression is altered in interstitial lung disease as determined by lectin-binding profiles.
