Abstrakt: Ventricular tachyarrhythmias associated with digitalis toxicity are believed to be due, in part, to cardiac glycoside-mediated increased central sympathetic neural activity. Because dopaminergic receptor agonists reduce sympathetic outflow, this study assessed effectiveness of the available dopaminergic agonist, bromocriptine, in slowing or terminating ouabain-induced ventricular tachycardia in anesthetized dogs. In all experiments, ouabain was administered intravenously (20 μg/kg body weight bolus injection, followed by 2.5 μg/kg per min infusion) until the onset of stable ventricular tachycardia.
