clonidine and Ventricular Fibrillation

clonidine has been researched along with Ventricular Fibrillation in 5 studies

Clonidine: An imidazoline sympatholytic agent that stimulates ALPHA-2 ADRENERGIC RECEPTORS and central IMIDAZOLINE RECEPTORS. It is commonly used in the management of HYPERTENSION.
clonidine (amino form) : A clonidine that is 4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-amine in which one of the amino hydrogens is replaced by a 2,6-dichlorophenyl group.

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.

"The antiarrhythmic and antifibrillatory effects of the specific bradycardic agent alinidine were evaluated in a conscious canine model of myocardial infarction and sudden death, and by determination of ventricular fibrillation thresholds (VFT) in anesthetized dogs."7.67Alinidine reduces the incidence of ischemic ventricular fibrillation in a conscious canine model, a protective effect antagonized by overdrive atrial pacing. ( Chi, LG; Driscoll, EM; Frye, JW; Lucchesi, BR; Lynch, JJ; Uprichard, AC, 1989)
" ITC was delivered locally via catheter to the T2-T4 spinal segments and was dosed to reduce heart rate (HR) by >20% to 25%."5.33Intrathecal clonidine reduces the incidence of ischemia-provoked ventricular arrhythmias in a canine postinfarction heart failure model.
