pioglitazone and Ventricular Fibrillation

pioglitazone has been researched along with Ventricular Fibrillation in 3 studies

Pioglitazone: A thiazolidinedione and PPAR GAMMA agonist that is used in the treatment of TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS.
pioglitazone : A member of the class of thiazolidenediones that is 1,3-thiazolidine-2,4-dione substituted by a benzyl group at position 5 which in turn is substituted by a 2-(5-ethylpyridin-2-yl)ethoxy group at position 4 of the phenyl ring. It exhibits hypoglycemic activity.

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.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" In this study, we investigated whether TZDs affect onset, spectral characteristics, and mortality of ischemic ventricular fibrillation (VF) and whether such effects are recapitulated by a non-selective K(ATP) blocker (glyburide) or a mitochondrial K(ATP) blocker (5-hydroxydecanoate)."3.78Thiazolidinedione drugs promote onset, alter characteristics, and increase mortality of ischemic ventricular fibrillation in pigs.
