amiodarone and Ventricular Fibrillation

amiodarone has been researched along with Ventricular Fibrillation in 452 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.

Ventricular Fibrillation: A potentially lethal cardiac arrhythmia that is characterized by uncoordinated extremely rapid firing of electrical impulses (400-600/min) in HEART VENTRICLES. Such asynchronous ventricular quivering or fibrillation prevents any effective cardiac output and results in unconsciousness (SYNCOPE). It is one of the major electrocardiographic patterns seen with CARDIAC ARREST.

Trial Outcomes

Number of Participants Scoring at or Below a 3 on the MRS Scale

Neurologic status at discharge will be assessed using the modified Rankin Score (MRS). A higher value indicates a worse outcome. 0-No symptoms at all; 1-No significant disability despite symptoms; able to carry out all usual duties and activities, 2-Slight disability; unable to carry out all previous activities, but able to look after own affairs without assistance, 3-Moderate disability; requiring some help, but able to walk without assistance; 4-Moderately severe disability; unable to walk without assistance and unable to attend to own bodily needs without assistance, 5-Severe disability; bedridden, incontinent and requiring constant nursing care and attention; 6-Dead (NCT01401647)
Timeframe: Patients will be followed from the time of the cardiac arrest until death, hospital discharge, or December 31, 2015, whichever occurs first.
