amlodipine and Ventricular Fibrillation

amlodipine has been researched along with Ventricular Fibrillation in 5 studies

Amlodipine: A long-acting dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker. It is effective in the treatment of ANGINA PECTORIS and HYPERTENSION.
amlodipine : A fully substituted dialkyl 1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate derivative, which is used for the treatment of hypertension, chronic stable angina and confirmed or suspected vasospastic angina.

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.

"Amlodipine was the preferred calcium antagonist for this study because it is only moderately negatively inotropic."5.29Delay by a calcium antagonist, amlodipine, of the onset of primary ventricular fibrillation in myocardial ischemia. ( Aupetit, JF; Bui-Xuan, B; Faucon, G; Timour, Q, 1996)
"Amlodipine was preferred to another calcium antagonist for this study because it is among the least negatively inotropic of these drugs."5.29Possible prevention by amlodipine of ventricular fibrillation related to brief ischemia episodes.
