Ibutilide is a newer class-III antiarrhythmic agent approved for clinical use. We sought to investigate its electrophysiological effects in canines and also the underlying mechanism of conversion of atrial flutter (AFL). For this purpose, 15 male mongrel dogs were anesthetized

Circulation. Arrhythmia and electrophysiology, 4(4), 566-576 (2011-05-31)
The electrically remodeled canine heart after chronic AV block (CAVB) has a high susceptibility for drug-induced torsade de pointes (TdP) arrhythmias. Although focal mechanisms have been considered for initiation, there is still controversy about whether reentry is the dominant mechanism
Atrial fibrillation: AVRO--were the results a surprise?

Chinese medical journal, 125(15), 2701-2707 (2012-08-31)
Ibutilide has been commonly used for pharmacologic cardioversion of atrial fibrillation and flutter in clinical settings. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of ibutilide on the defibrillation threshold (DFT), restitution properties, dispersion of refractoriness and activation
Sheldon M Singh et al.
Journal of cardiovascular electrophysiology, 23(4), 352-358 (2011-11-01)
Beyond pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), adjuvant ablation at the sites of complex fractionated atrial electrograms (CFAE) has been shown to improve the long-term success of catheter ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). However, this approach often requires extensive ablation due
