Ibutilide hemifumarate salt is considered a new generation "pure" Class III antiarrhythmic agent.
Ibutilide hemifumarate salt is considered a new generation "pure" Class III antiarrhythmic agent. Ibutilide binds to and alters the activity of hERG potassium channels, delayed inward rectifier potassium (IKr) channels and L-type (dihydropyridine sensitive) calcium channels.

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
We present a case of Brugada syndrome in a young patient whose typical ECG pattern was 'masked' after ibutilide was administered for atrial flutter cardioversion. Ibutilide, a class III antiarrhythmic agent used for the treatment of atrial fibrillation and flutter

To observe the electrophysiological effects of ibutilide on canine and to explore the potential mechanisms of ibutilide on terminating atrial flutter. Eighteen mongrel dogs were anesthetized and intubated. The heart was exposed through thoracotomy for electrodes implantation. The electrophysiologic variables

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
Predicting the degree of drug-induced QT prolongation and the risk for torsades de pointes.
