General description

Flunarizine has antihistamine, anticonvulsant and vestibular depressive properties. It protects endothelial cells from calcium overload-induced damage. Flunarizine is used to treat epilepsy, migraine prophylaxis, cerebral blood flow disturbances, peripheral vascular disease and vertigo.

Application

Flunarizine dihydrochloride has been used to study the effect of flunarizine on epileptiform activity. It is also used to study its effect on high-potassium induced increase of intracellular free calcium.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Blocks T-type Ca2+/Na+ channels; inhibits K+-induced catecholamine release from chromaffin cells

Previous studies showed that endocardial activation during long-duration ventricular fibrillation (VF) exhibits organized activity. We identified and quantified the different types of organized activity. Two 64-electrode basket catheters were inserted, respectively, into the left ventricle and right ventricle of dogs
