Popis:	Dronedarone is a multichannel blocker with similar electrophysiological properties to amiodarone. Dronedarone has not been studied in humans as an agent to suppress ventricular arrhythmias.This case report describes the dramatic antiarrhythmic effects of dronedarone in a patient with nonischemic cardiomyopathy and recurrent ventricular tachycardia, which was resistant to multiple antiarrhythmic agents and endocardial catheter ablation.Dronedarone was effective in completely suppressing ventricular tachycardia.Further research is needed to establish a potential larger role for dronedarone in controlling ventricular arrhythmias in humans.
