Electrophysiological Effects of the Class Ic Antiarrhythmic Drug Pilsicainide on the Guinea-Pig Pulmonary Vein Myocardium

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2012
The pulmonary vein is known as an important source of ectopic beats, initiating frequent paroxysms of atrial fibrillation. We compared effects of the class Ic antiarrhythmic drug pilsicainide on the electrophysiological parameters in the isolated ...
