disopyramide and Death, Sudden

disopyramide has been researched along with Death, Sudden in 9 studies

Disopyramide: A class I anti-arrhythmic agent (one that interferes directly with the depolarization of the cardiac membrane and thus serves as a membrane-stabilizing agent) with a depressant action on the heart similar to that of guanidine. It also possesses some anticholinergic and local anesthetic properties.
disopyramide : A monocarboxylic acid amide that is butanamide substituted by a diisopropylamino group at position 4, a phenyl group at position 2 and a pyridin-2-yl group at position 2. It is used as a anti-arrhythmia drug.

Death, Sudden: The abrupt cessation of all vital bodily functions, manifested by the permanent loss of total cerebral, respiratory, and cardiovascular functions.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" If side effects intervene that may cause continued therapy to be intolerable, changing the antiarrhythmic agent, as opposed to decreasing the dosage to an ineffective range, may be appropriate."1.27New directions in antiarrhythmic drug therapy. ( Somberg, JC, 1984)
" The latter, however, was taking antiarrhythmic drugs at a dosage less than that proved to be effective during electropharmacological testing."1.27[Value of a serial electropharmacologic study in survivors of a cardiac arrest secondary to ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation].
