β¦ Synopsis
Studies were performed in whole dog and in isolated superfused canine Purkinje fiber-papillary muscle preparations to investigate mechanisms responsible for the antiarrhythmic effects of disopyramide. Two human left atrial appendages were also studied in oirro. Disopyramide had a potent quinidine-like effect which may explain the antiarrhythmic properties of disopyrarnide. While disopyramide is perhaps at least twice as potent as quinidine in suppressing experimentally induced arrhythmias, disopyramide also has at least proportionally more depressant effect on cardiac mechanical performance in the dog heart.

An extract obtained from the leaves of Ageratum conyzoides L. changed the electrocardiogram, atrial impulse velocity, and coronary vessels resistance on isolated guinea-pig heart. Electrocardiographic alterations were: (a) PR interval increased from 80 AE 1.4 ms to 105 AE 14 ms (p `0.01); (b) QT int
During steady-state treatment with disopyramide, its main and active metabolite, mono-N-dealkylated disopyramide, was reported to reach concentrations that were equal to or higher than the parent drug in 25% of 70 evaluated patients. This metabolite has been found to have a more pronounced anticholi
