propafenone and Long QT Syndrome

propafenone has been researched along with Long QT Syndrome in 9 studies

Propafenone: An antiarrhythmia agent that is particularly effective in ventricular arrhythmias. It also has weak beta-blocking activity.
propafenone : An aromatic ketone that is 3-(propylamino)propane-1,2-diol in which the hydrogen of the primary hydroxy group is replaced by a 2-(3-phenylpropanoyl)phenyl group. It is a class 1C antiarrhythmic drug with local anesthetic effects, and is used as the hydrochloride salt in the management of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias.

Long QT Syndrome: A condition that is characterized by episodes of fainting (SYNCOPE) and varying degree of ventricular arrhythmia as indicated by the prolonged QT interval. The inherited forms are caused by mutation of genes encoding cardiac ion channel proteins. The two major forms are ROMANO-WARD SYNDROME and JERVELL-LANGE NIELSEN SYNDROME.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Despite careful precautions, serious proarrhythmias, the major limiting side effect of dofetilide, still occurred during long-term follow-up."2.73Observations on the safety and effectiveness of dofetilide in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and normal left ventricular function. ( Bauman, JL; Kehoe, RF; Leal, S; Mykytsey, A; Razminia, M; Saleem, M; Wang, T; Zheutlin, T, 2007)
"Propafenone is an antiarrhythmic drug metabolized primarily by cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6)."1.72Influence of CYP2D6 genetic variation on adverse events with propafenone in the pediatric and young adult population. ( Fish, FA; Gaedigk, A; Kannankeril, PJ; Radbill, AE; Sunthankar, SD; Van Driest, SL, 2022)
"Mirtazapine is a commonly prescribed antidepressant drug, which is also metabolized through and may modulate the CYP4502D6 pathway leading to altered metabolism of propafenone and possible adverse effects."1.40Propafenone associated severe central nervous system and cardiovascular toxicity due to mirtazapine: a case of severe drug interaction. ( Aryal, SR; Khan, MA; Rajpurohit, N; Stys, AT; Stys, TP, 2014)
