chlorpromazine and Tachycardia, Ventricular

chlorpromazine has been researched along with Tachycardia, Ventricular in 2 studies

Chlorpromazine: The prototypical phenothiazine antipsychotic drug. Like the other drugs in this class chlorpromazine's antipsychotic actions are thought to be due to long-term adaptation by the brain to blocking DOPAMINE RECEPTORS. Chlorpromazine has several other actions and therapeutic uses, including as an antiemetic and in the treatment of intractable hiccup.
chlorpromazine : A substituted phenothiazine in which the ring nitrogen at position 10 is attached to C-3 of an N,N-dimethylpropanamine moiety.

Tachycardia, Ventricular: An abnormally rapid ventricular rhythm usually in excess of 150 beats per minute. It is generated within the ventricle below the BUNDLE OF HIS, either as autonomic impulse formation or reentrant impulse conduction. Depending on the etiology, onset of ventricular tachycardia can be paroxysmal (sudden) or nonparoxysmal, its wide QRS complexes can be uniform or polymorphic, and the ventricular beating may be independent of the atrial beating (AV dissociation).

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Combination of chlorpromazine (CPZ) and verapamil (Ver) was found to decrease the incidence of ventricular arrhythmias and ventricular fibrillation induced by myocardial ischemia and reperfusion, lower serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and decrease the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in heart tissue homogenate especially in mitochondria; and increase the phospholipid content and the phospholipid/cholesterol ratio; and decrease the myocardial "cell calcium" content in the reperfused area."3.68[Protective effects of combination of chlorpromazine and verapamil on ischemia-reperfusion induced injury in rat myocardium].
