Systemic medications associate with surgically treated cataract among adults over 50 years in Finland

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To identify associations between systemic drugs and cataract surgery in Finland. Methods A historic cohort study based on administrative data. Endpoint event was cataract surgery. Use of drugs in question was based on redeemed prescriptions and consisted of 156 drugs.

Flecainide binding dynamics in voltage‐gated sodium channels: A comparative isoform analysis of the state‐dependent block

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
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.

Diltiazem N‐oxide, a novel ischaemia‐activated prodrug, prevents ischaemia‐induced ventricular fibrillation without off‐target adverse effects

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Medical therapy with flecainide and propafenone in atrial fibrillation: Long-term clinical experience in the tertiary care setting

open access: yesCardiology Journal, 2023
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

open access: yes, 1997
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 ...

Beat‐to‐beat variability of ventricular repolarization reveals sex‐specific instability and proarrhythmic risk

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
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.

Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain Is Associated With Appropriate Therapies for Ventricular Arrhythmias Independent of Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction in Patients With Primary Prevention Defibrillators

open access: yesJournal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.
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

open access: yes, 2013
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.
