chlorpromazine and Ventricular Fibrillation

chlorpromazine has been researched along with Ventricular Fibrillation in 21 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.

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.

( Ozawa, T; Sugiyama, S, 1979)
"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].
