verapamil and Death, Sudden

verapamil has been researched along with Death, Sudden in 22 studies

Verapamil: A calcium channel blocker that is a class IV anti-arrhythmia agent.
verapamil : A racemate comprising equimolar amounts of dexverapamil and (S)-verapamil. An L-type calcium channel blocker of the phenylalkylamine class, it is used (particularly as the hydrochloride salt) in the treatment of hypertension, angina pectoris and cardiac arrhythmia, and as a preventive medication for migraine.
2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-5-{[2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethyl](methyl)amino}-2-(propan-2-yl)pentanenitrile : A tertiary amino compound that is 3,4-dimethoxyphenylethylamine in which the hydrogens attached to the nitrogen are replaced by a methyl group and a 4-cyano-4-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-5-methylhexyl group.

Death, Sudden: The abrupt cessation of all vital bodily functions, manifested by the permanent loss of total cerebral, respiratory, and cardiovascular functions.

( Hoffman, BF; Legenza, M; Southworth, SR; Temesy-Armos, PN, 1985)

( Duff, HJ; Oates, JA; Roden, DM; Woosley, RL, 1982)

" If side effects intervene that may cause continued therapy to be intolerable, changing the antiarrhythmic agent, as opposed to decreasing the dosage to an ineffective range, may be appropriate."1.27New directions in antiarrhythmic drug therapy. ( Somberg, JC, 1984)
"The mechanisms underlying the cause of sudden death have not been clearly elucidated."1.27[Arrhythmias in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Significance and therapeutic consequences]. ( Kleinebenne, A; McKenna, WJ, 1985)
"The treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is first and foremost symptomatic, its aim being to counteract dyspnea, angina pectoris, syncopes and lipothymias, palpitations."1.27[Treatment of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy]. ( Bouhour, JB; Lefèvre, M; Letard, G, 1985)
