bretylium and Arrhythmias, Cardiac

bretylium has been researched along with Arrhythmias, Cardiac in 12 studies

bretylium: RN given refers to parent cpd
bretylium : A quaternary ammonium cation having 2-bromobenzyl, ethyl and two methyl groups attached to the nitrogen. It blocks noradrenaline release from the peripheral sympathetic nervous system, and is used in emergency medicine, cardiology, and other specialties for the acute management of ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation.

Arrhythmias, Cardiac: Any disturbances of the normal rhythmic beating of the heart or MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTION. Cardiac arrhythmias can be classified by the abnormalities in HEART RATE, disorders of electrical impulse generation, or impulse conduction.

"Bretylium, with an extensive pharmacologic and medicinal history, was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration in 1986 for "short-term prevention and treatment of ventricular fibrillation (VF) and treatment of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias and ventricular tachycardia (VT) unresponsive to adequate doses of a first-line antiarrhythmic agent, such as lidocaine."3.96Bretylium, a Class III Antiarrhythmic, Returns to the Market. ( Kowey, PR; Sullivan, RM; Thind, M; Williams, RN, 2020)
" To prevent arrhythmias, bretylium (5 mg/kg) was administered intravenously 10 minutes before catheter manipulation and repeated every 30 minutes throughout the procedure."3.68Prophylactic treatment of swine with bretylium for experimental cardiac catheterization.
