Antiarrhythmic effects of cordarone, ethacizine, and obsidan were evaluated in 30 patients with chronic alcoholism in whom premature ventricular contractions were recorded at a rate of at least of 5 per minute by 30-minute ECG monitoring when they were admitted to a narcologic hospital, having the alcohol withdrawal syndrome. Cordarone, ethacizine, and obsidan were found to reduce the total number of premature ventricular contractions by 90% or more within an hour after their single intravenous injection in 80, 100, and 50% of the patients, respectively. |
