R J Sweeney et al.
Pacing and clinical electrophysiology : PACE, 19(1), 50-60 (1996-01-01)
The mechanisms by which pharmacological agents alter electrical defibrillation are not fully understood. It has been proposed that, in addition to directly stimulating tissue, defibrillation may involve refractory period extension (RPE) produced by the shock. Accordingly, pharmacological agents might modulate

Journal of cardiovascular pharmacology, 26(1), 132-136 (1995-07-01)
We compared the effects of class I-IV antiarrhythmic agents on the ventricular fibrillation threshold (VFT) induced by electrical stimulation directly on the myocardium in anesthetized, open-chest guinea pigs. VFT was assessed by determining the intensity (mA) of electrical current required
R W Peters et al.
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 23(2), 283-289 (1994-02-01)
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of antiarrhythmic drugs on the timing of arrhythmic death. Sudden cardiac death remains a problem of epidemic proportions. Delineating its pathophysiology is an important step in devising preventive measures. Previous

Journal of cardiovascular pharmacology, 21(3), 397-404 (1993-03-01)
The antiarrhythmic efficacy and proarrhythmic potential of the class IC antiarrhythmic agent encainide were assessed in subacute and chronic postinfarction canine models, respectively. In conscious dogs with spontaneous premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) at 48 h after anterior myocardial infarction (MI)
C L Case et al.
Biology of the neonate, 66(6), 330-338 (1994-01-01)
With clinical data suggesting that neonates may be more prone to developing electrophysiologic side effects from encainide, this study investigates the in vitro developmental electrophysiologic effects of encainide and its major metabolites on the action potential parameters of the canine
