Classification of Antiarrhythmic Drugs
The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 1989Although many classification schemes for antiarrhythmic drugs have been proposed, the system introduced by Vaughan Williams and later modified by Harrison has been widely accepted. This classification system is comprised of four categories. Class I agents block sodium channels. Class II agents are Beta blockers.

Antioxidants as Antiarrhythmic Drugs
Cardiology, 2008Experiments on rats and rabbits using models of arrhythmias induced by vasopressin, epinephrine, strophanthin, and CaCl<sub>2</sub> showed that antioxidants derived from 1,4-dihydropyridines, dibunol, and α-tocopherol possessed antiarrhythmic effects.

Annual Review of Medicine, 1987
The selection of an effective and well-tolerated antiarrhythmic drug requires a systematic approach. Two methods for evaluating drug effect are routinely used--noninvasive techniques involving monitoring and exercise testing, and an invasive approach utilizing electrophysiologic testing. Each method has strengths and weaknesses and they must be applied

Antiarrhythmic drugs in pregnancy
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2001During pregnancy a number of rhythm disturbances can occur in both the mother and fetus; these may range from benign ectopy to life-threatening arrhythmias. With a clear understanding of the maternal hemodynamic changes associated with pregnancy, and the appropriate antiarrhythmic therapies available, almost all such cases can be treated successfully ...

Over the past few years, many new antiarrhythmic drugs have been developed, expanding the choices available for treating arrhythmia. However, at the same time, there has been confusion about how to choose an appropriate drug for the individual patient.

Electropharmacology of antiarrhythmic drugs
American Heart Journal, 1983Cardiac arrhythmias may be caused by abnormalities of impulse initiation, impulse propagation, or a combination of the two. The specific mechanisms that may induce arrhythmias are reviewed, as are the means whereby antiarrhythmic drugs might be expected to modify arrhythmias. The cellular electrophysiologic effects of the following antiarrhythmic drugs

Pharmacokinetics of antiarrhythmic drugs
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1978A knowledge of the determinants of the plasma concentrations of antiarrhythmic drugs is important because variation in plasma levels is often greater than the desired therapeutic range. The basic principles of pharmacokinetics are outlined and their application to the design of dosage regimens described.

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2006
The use of antiarrhythmic drugs can be challenging to physicians. They are effective in treating various types of arrhythmias, yet their potential to cause adverse events, in particularly proarrhythmia, can be intimidating. When the decision to use antiarrhythmic therapy has been made, physicians are confronted with several issues: choosing the right ...

Future of antiarrhythmic drugs
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2006This article briefly summarizes the principal mechanisms of action of contemporary antiarrhythmic agents, delineates their limitations in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, and discusses why there is a need for new cardiac antiarrhythmic drugs.In recent years, the limited efficacy and proarrhythmic potential of classic antiarrhythmic drugs have ...
