Effect of oral disopyramide therapy on left ventricular function.

چکیده
To study the effect of oral disopyramide therapy on left ventricular function, a subject of some controversy, we obtained first-pass radionuclide ventriculograms with a multicrystal gamma camera in 19 patients with or without therapy. Our findings demonstrated that disopyramide causes deterioration in left ventricular function in patients with abnormal ejection fractions. This effect is rarely recognized clinically and occurs despite safe therapeutic serum levels.

The effect of concurrent oral administration of propranolol and disopyramide on cardiac function in healthy men.
Sixteen healthy men were evaluated for left ventricular performance changes and beta-blockade after therapeutic oral doses of disopyramide and propranolol administered alone and concurrently. The volunteers were randomly assigned to receive one of two drug treatment regimens that differed in the sequence and duration of administration of the drugs. Left ventricular function was assessed by echo...

متن کاملEffects of antiarrhythmic agents on left ventricular function during exercise in patients with chronic left ventricular dysfunction.
This study was designed to determine the effects of antiarrhythmic agents on global left ventricular (LV) function during exercise in patients with chronic LV dysfunction. Thirty-five patients with LV dysfunction [LV ejection fraction (LVEF) < 45%] and ventricular arrhythmias were studied. They were randomly classified into 3 groups: patients who received a single oral dose of 6 mg/kg disopyram...
متن کاملCombined Therapy with Deferiprone and Desferrioxamine as Compared to Desferasirox on Ventricular Function in Thalassemia Major Patients
Abstract Background Myocardial iron overload is the leading cause of death in patients with beta-thalassemia major. Combined therapy with deferiprone(DFP) and desferrioxamine (DFO)were suggested to be more effective than deferasirox(DFX) for removing heart iron. Deferasirox has recently been made available, but its long-term efficacy on cardiac function has not yet been established. Our study...
متن کاملAdverse hemodynamic effects of intravenous disopyramide compared with quinidine in conscious dogs.
Disopyramide resembles quinidine electrophysiologically, but its effect on left ventricular function has not been clarified. Twelve awake dogs were instrumented for measurement of cardiac output, left ventricular pressure and its maximal first derivative (dP/dt max), and left atrial and aortic pressures. Disopyramide or quinidine at identical, clinically relevant doses (1 and 5 mg/kg i.v.) was ...
