Antiarrhythmic drugs comprise many drug classes and have several mechanisms of action. Some classes and even some specific drugs within a class are effective with only certain types of arrhythmias. Therefore, attempts have been made to classify the different antiarrhythmic drugs by mechanism. Although ...
Classically the antiarrhythmic agents have been divided into 4 main classes based on their predominant actions on cardiac tissues using the Vaughan-Williams classification system.1 Although this classification system is useful for considering how these drugs impact on formation and propagation of the cardi...
Many different classes of antiarrhythmic drugs have been used for rhythm control, with inconsistent results and adverse effects on mortality and morbidity. Of the available antiarrhythmic drugs, amiodarone is the single most effective drug in the prevention of atrial fibrillation recurrences and ...
Aminoglutethimide and two newer classes of aromatase inhibitors (the enzyme that converts androgens to estrogens): analogues that block this conversion (formestane, exemestane) and the imidazole inhibitors (anastrozole, vorozole, letrozole); steroidals (progestins, estrogens and androgens, antiestrogen...
