practolol and Ventricular Fibrillation

practolol has been researched along with Ventricular Fibrillation in 23 studies

Practolol: A beta-1 adrenergic antagonist that has been used in the emergency treatment of CARDIAC ARRYTHMIAS.
practolol : N-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)acetamide in which the hydrogen of the phenolic hydroxy group is substituted by a 3-(isopropylaminoamino)-2-hydroxypropyl group. A selective beta blocker, it has been used in the emergency treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.

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.

( Gillis, RA; Pearle, DL; Williford, D, 1978)
"As repetitive extrasystoles (RE) have been observed to precede the occurrence of VF, it was relevant to determine whether the RE threshold provides a reliable index of cardiac susceptivility to fibrillation."1.26Repetitive extrasystole as an index of vulnerability to ventricular fibrillation. ( Lown, B; Matta, RJ; Verrier, RL, 1976)
"Most of those liable to sudden death can be identified and it is possible that by the use of beta-adrenergic blocking or other antiarrhythmic drugs, by reducing the consumption of cigarettes and perhaps, by different therapies for hypertension, a substantial proportion of coronary deaths might be prevented or, at least, postponed."1.26Toward preventing coronary death from ventricular fibrillation. ( Julian, DG, 1976)
"Practolol was frequently effective in controlling ventricular dysrhythmias which occurred within the first 24 hours after the onset of symptoms of acute myocardial infarction."1.25The effects of practolol on the dysrhythmias complicating acute ischemic heart disease.

"Occlusion of the LAD artery produced arrhythmia in all of the animals, with 39% developing ventricular fibrillation (VF)."1.25Influence of the adrenal medulla on cardiac rhythm disturbances following acute coronary artery occlusions. ( Kelliher, GJ; Roberts, J; Widmer, C, 1975)
