[Antiarrhythmic effect of propafenone in relation to serum concentration and conduction time (author's transl)]. 1978

G Meyer-Estorf, and K Keller, and O A Beck, and H Hochrein

7 patients with stable cardiac dysrhythmias (ectopic beats of ventricular origin) received a single oral dose of 900 mg Propafenone. Besides the antiarrhythmic effect of propafenone the effect on changes of PQ- and QRS duration as well as the corresponding serum concentration was measured. A significant correlation between changes of PQ-time and serum concentration (r = 0.6810, p less than 0.001) was found. The half-life of serum level was 3.6 +/- 0.2 h, that of PQ-time prolongation 3.8 +/- 0.6 h. A complete suppression of all ectopic beats has been achieved in all treated patients for 6--8 hours.

D011427 Propiophenones Propiophenone (ethyl phenyl ketone, structural formula C6H5COCH2CH3) and its derivatives. They are commonly used in perfumes and pharmaceuticals.
D004562 Electrocardiography Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY. 12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead

D000889 Anti-Arrhythmia Agents Agents used for the treatment or prevention of cardiac arrhythmias. They may affect the polarization-repolarization phase of the action potential, its excitability or refractoriness, or impulse conduction or membrane responsiveness within cardiac fibers. Anti-arrhythmia agents are often classed into four main groups according to their mechanism of action: sodium channel blockade, beta-adrenergic blockade, repolarization prolongation, or calcium channel blockade.
