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.

This study aims to observe the effects of ibutilide on canine cardiac pacing threshold and on induction rates of atrial fibrillation. Eighteen mongrel dogs were anesthetized and administrated with ibutilide. The pacing thresholds and induction rates of atrial fibrillation were
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
Predicting the degree of drug-induced QT prolongation and the risk for torsades de pointes.
