Elevation of ventricular defibrillation threshold in dogs by antiarrhythmic drugs.
American Heart Journal 1979 September
Effects of antiarrhythmic drugs upon the threshold delivered energy (TDE) and threshold peak current (TPC) for electrical ventricular defibrillation by damped sinusoidal shocks were investigated in 25 pentobarbital-anesthetized dogs. TDE and TPC were increased by the three antiarrhytmic drugs tested. Bolus injections produced a transient rise and continuous infusions produced a steady rise in difibrillation threshold. The maximal percent elevations in mean defibrillation threshold during the 60 minutes after intravenous drug treatment in groups of n = 5 dogs were: (formula: see text). Accordingly, individuals receiving antiarrhythmic drugs who nonetheless fibrillate may require greater electric shock strength for defibrillation.
