| Popis: | Antidysrhythmic medications, when administered in the clinical setting, demonstrate a variety of effects on cardiac electrophysiology, inotropy, and peripheral vascular smooth muscle. The resultant hemodynamic effects may be of profound importance to the clinical well-being of the patient being treated for dysrhythmias. The following review will discuss the hemodynamic effects of the Class I agent moricizine; Class IA agents: quinidine, procainamide hydrochloride, and tocainide hydrochloride; Class IC agents: flecainide acetate, encainide hydrochloride, and propafenone; Class II agents: propranolol hydrochloride, esmolol hydrochloride, and acebutolol; Class III agents: bretylium tosylate and amiodarone hydrochloride; as well as the Class IV agent verapamil. Adenosine, an unclassified antidysrhythmic indicated in the treatment of supraventricular tachycardia will also be discussed. Specific attention will be directed toward the use of these agents in patients with left ventricular dysfunction or history of congestive heart failure. |
