All of the antiarrhythmic agents had strong and relatively comparable evidence of efficacy compared with control treatment, and the point estimates were all consistent with fairly large treatment effect sizes: quinidine (OR=4.1; 95% CI, 2.5-6.7)[18,41-43];
disopyramide (OR=3.4; 95% CI, 1.6-7.1)[44-45]; flecainide (OR=3.1; 95% CI, 1.5-6.2)[46-48]; propafenone (OR=3.7; 95% CI, 2.4-5.7)[27,49-51]; and sotalol (OR--7.1; 95% CI, 3.8-13.4).[37,49]
QT prolongation refers to the prolonged QT interval in electrocardiography (ECG) which can even lead to life-threatening events such as ventricular arrhythmias, torsades de pointes, etc., several drugs can cause QT prolongation which includes sotalol, quinidine, arsenic,
disopyramide, procainamide, amiodarone, haloperidol, etc., Arsenic trioxide (ATO) is used as an effective treatment option in promyelocytic leukemia (PML).
If antiarrhythmic therapy Is administered,
disopyramide, procainamide, and quinidine carry a theoretical hazard of additive QT-prolonging effects when administered in patients with an acute overdose of LATUDA.
(a) Antiarrhythmic drugs: Class 1A (quinidine, procainamide, and
disopyramide), Class 1C (encainide, flecainide), and Class 3 (sotalol, dofetilide)

Medications include beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, and, rarely, diltiazem, amiodarone, and
disopyramide. The hypertrophic cardiomyopathy therapeutics market report estimates the market size (Revenue USD million - 2013 to 2020) for key market segments based on the drug classes (antiarrhythmic agents, anticoagulants, beta adrenergic blocking agents, and calcium channel blockers) and clinical pipeline analysis of phase 1, 2 and 3 drugs, and forecasts growth trends (CAGR% - 2015 to 2020).
Isotachophoretic determination of bisoprolol, clonidine,
disopyramide and tolazoline in human fluids.
Beta blockers, Verapamil, Amiodarone,
Disopyramide or Quinidine may be given.
Quinine is not recommended for use with other drugs known to cause QT prolongation, including Class IA antiarr- hythmic agents (e.g., quinidine, procainamide,
disopyramide), and Class III antiarrhythmic agents (e.g., amiodarone, sotalol, dofetilide).
AFib is often initially treated with antiarrhythmic drugs, such as amiodarone (Cordarone, Pacerone), bepridil hydrochloride (Vascor), or
disopyramide (Norpace).
