flecainide and Cardiovascular Diseases

flecainide has been researched along with Cardiovascular Diseases in 4 studies

Flecainide: A potent anti-arrhythmia agent, effective in a wide range of ventricular and atrial ARRHYTHMIAS and TACHYCARDIAS.
flecainide : A monocarboxylic acid amide obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of 2,5-bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)benzoic acid with the primary amino group of piperidin-2-ylmethylamine. An antiarrhythmic agent used (in the form of its acetate salt) to prevent and treat tachyarrhythmia (abnormal fast rhythm of the heart).

Cardiovascular Diseases: Pathological conditions involving the CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM including the HEART; the BLOOD VESSELS; or the PERICARDIUM.

"Flecainide plasma levels were higher when associated with cardiovascular side effects (mean 1063 ng/ml; range 296 to 2050 ng/ml) than when no side effects occurred (mean 609 ng/ml; range 89 to 1508 ng/ml; P less than 0."1.27Pharmacodynamics and side effects of flecainide acetate.
