procainamide and Torsade de Pointes

procainamide has been researched along with Torsade de Pointes in 10 studies

Procainamide: A class Ia antiarrhythmic drug that is structurally-related to PROCAINE.
procainamide : A benzamide that is 4-aminobenzamide substituted on the amide N by a 2-(diethylamino)ethyl group. It is a pharmaceutical antiarrhythmic agent used for the medical treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The incidence of clinical torsade de pointes (TdP) associated with amiodarone has been reported to be low and the present study compared the proarrhythmic potential of amiodarone with that of a selective IKr channel blocker, sematilide, using a canine chronic atrioventrucular block model."3.71Comparison of the in vivo electrophysiological and proarrhythmic effects of amiodarone with those of a selective class III drug, sematilide, using a canine chronic atrioventricular block model. ( Hashimoto, K; Ishida, Y; Kugiyama, K; Satoh, Y; Sugiyama, A; Yoneyama, M; Yoshida, H, 2002)
"Its precise effect on the prevention of ventricular tachycardia-ventricular fibrillation (VTVF) compared to class I agents has not been evaluated in a blinded study."2.68Multicenter trial of sotalol compared with procainamide in the suppression of inducible ventricular tachycardia: a double-blind, randomized parallel evaluation. Sotalol Multicenter Study Group. ( Kehoe, R; Quart, B; Scheinman, M; Singh, BN; Woosley, RL, 1995)
