amiodarone and Transposition of Great Vessels

amiodarone has been researched along with Transposition of Great Vessels in 6 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.

Transposition of Great Vessels: A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which the AORTA arises entirely from the RIGHT VENTRICLE, and the PULMONARY ARTERY arises from the LEFT VENTRICLE. Consequently, the pulmonary and the systemic circulations are parallel and not sequential, so that the venous return from the peripheral circulation is re-circulated by the right ventricle via aorta to the systemic circulation without being oxygenated in the lungs. This is a potentially lethal form of heart disease in newborns and infants.

" 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].
