Background and Purpose Local anaesthetics and class I anti‐arrhythmic drugs block voltage‐gated Na+ channels, but the molecular basis for the isoform differences in drug sensitivity remains unclear. Understanding these mechanisms is essential for optimizing therapeutic efficacy and safety.

Abstract Background and Purpose Ventricular fibrillation (VF) in coronary heart disease accounts for up to 70% of sudden cardiac death. We examined whether diltiazem N‐oxide (DNO) has ischaemia‐selective antiarrhythmic activity. Experimental Approach Randomised and blinded experiments were performed in rat isolated hearts and in anaesthetised rats to ...

BACKGROUND: Flecainide and propafenone are Class Ic antiarrhythmic drugs that block the cardiac fast inwards Na+ current and are used for rhythm control in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, data on long-term clinical efficacy and safety of

Propafenone for conversion and prophylaxis of atrial fibrillation
Pharmacologic therapy is widely used for restoration of sinus rhythm and prevention of recurrences of atrial fibrillation. Because concerns have been raised about their potential proarrhythmic effects, therapeutic regimens should be evaluated by placebo ...

Abstract figure legend A mechanistic framework linking sex‐dependent dynamical instability to proarrhythmic risk. Sex‐specific human ventricular models show that upstream modulators, including biological sex, hormones, drugs and heart disease, promote steeper APD restitution in female than male and enhance dynamical instability.

Reduced (absolute value) left ventricular global longitudinal strain is independently associated with an increased risk of appropriate therapies from primary prevention implantable cardioverter defibrillators. ABSTRACT Background Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) has not demonstrated reliability in predicting ventricular arrhythmias or ...

Acute Propafenone Toxicity Discovered after Unknown Onset of Symptoms
Propafenone is a class 1C antiarrhythmic with sodium channel and beta blocking properties. At toxic doses it causes wide range of arrhythmias including cardiac conduction abnormalities, AV block and prolongation of QRS complexes that may be fatal.
