Most of the class III antiarrhythmic agents developed in recent years blocks the rapid component of delayed rectifier potassium current (IKr). IKr blocker shows reverse use-dependency and also may cause torsades de pointes at slower heart rate. Ibutilide fumarate, a novel class III antiarrhythmic agent, increases window Na(+) current at the action potential plateau phase. We studied the rate-dependent effect of ibutilide on the electrophysiological parameters of human atrium and ventricle. Franz catheter and a pacing catheter were placed closely in the high right atrium and right ventricular apex to record monophasic action potentials (MAP) during pacing at cycle length (PCL) of 600 ms and 350 ms in eight patients who underwent electrophysiological study. MAP duration of right atrium (RA-MAPD) and right ventricle (RV-MAPD), effective refractory period of RA and RV (RA-ERP and RV-ERP), intra-atrial conduction time (IACT) and intra-ventricular conduction time (IVCT) were measured before and after intravenous administration of ibutilide (0.01 mg/kg up to 1mg). A conduction time from RA pacing spike to distal coronary sinus potential was used to measure IACT, while QRS duration of surface ECG during RV pacing was used to measure IVCT. Ibutilide prolonged RA-MAPD by 60 ms at PCL 600 ms and by 53 ms at PCL 350 ms; RV-MAPD by 48 ms at PCL 600 ms and by 55 ms at PCL 350 ms. Ibutilide did not affected RA and RV-ERP/MAPD ratio, IACT, and IVCT. Ibutilide prolongs MAPD and ERP of human atrium and ventricle without reverse use-dependency. 相似文献

Alterations in atrial electrophysiology associated with chronic atrial fibrillation in man. 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to determine the changes in atrial electrophysiology associated with chronic persistent atrial fibrillation in man. METHODS AND RESULTS: Atrial monophasic action potential duration at 90% repolarization and the effective refractory period were measured in 13 patients with chronic persistent atrial fibrillation after low-energy endocardial cardioversion, and compared to eight controls without a history of atrial fibrillation. Measurements were made at the right atrial appendage and midlateral right atrial wall at basic, 600 ms and 400 ms drive cycle lengths. In control patients, the effective refractory periods were significantly longer at the atrial appendage than the lateral wall at 600 ms (right atrial appendage 265 ms, midlateral right atrial wall 228 ms, P<0.05), and 400 ms cycle lengths (right atrial appendage 270 ms, midlateral right atrial wall 218 ms, P<0.05), but this was not evident in patients with atrial fibrillation. The monophasic action potentials and effective refractory periods at both atrial sites were shorter in the atrial fibrillation patients compared to controls; however, only the effective refractory periods at atrial appendage at 600 ms (atrial fibrillation 210 ms, controls 265 ms, P<0.001), and 400 ms cycle lengths (atrial fibrillation 200 ms, controls 270 ms, P>0.001) reached statistical significance. Effective refractory period dispersion was significantly greater in controls than in patients with atrial fibrillation (cycle length 600 ms: controls 36, atrial fibrillation 13, P=0.01; cycle length 400 ms: controls 54, atrial fibrillation 18, P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: In patients without a history of atrial fibrillation, the refractory period at the right atrial appendage is significantly longer than at the midlateral right atrial wall. This 'normal' pattern of atrial refractory dispersion is lost in patients with chronic persistent atrial fibrillation, with marked shortening of the effective refractory period at the right atrial appendage. This may explain the high risk of recurrence of atrial fibrillation following successful electrical cardioversion. 相似文献

We analyzed the effect of handgrip on atrial electrical activity during atrial fibrillation (AF) by recording right and left atrial activity in 15 patients with persistent AF under baseline conditions and after saline and ibutilide infusions. The handgrip test for 15 seconds, which was always associated with a significant increase in mean atrial cycle length, was recorded in both atria (right atrium: saline vs saline + handgrip 141 +/- 29 vs 171 +/- 24 ms, p <0.001; ibutilide vs ibutilide + handgrip: 197 +/- 43 vs 221 +/- 39 ms, p <0.005). Handgrip favorably modifies atrial electrophysiologic properties during AF. 相似文献

Atrial electrical remodeling (ER) after spontaneous or pacing-induced atrial fibrillation has been previously described in humans. We investigated atrial ER induced by a 5-minute period of rapid atrial pacing and the pharmacologic effects of verapamil and procainamide on this atrial ER phenomenon. The atrial effective refractory periods (ERPs) at drive cycle lengths of 400 (ERP 400 ) and 600 (ERP 600 ) ms, at five representative atrial sites (high right atrium [HRA]; proximal, middle and distal coronary sinus; interatrial septum), were determined in 20 patients at baseline and immediately after cessation of a 5-minute period of rapid pacing from the HRA at a rate of 150 bpm. The degrees of atrial ERP 400 and ERP 600 shortening after pacing were calculated as acute atrial ER. The same protocol was repeated in another 15 patients after intravenous administration of verapamil (0.15 mg/kg) and in another 15 patients after intravenous administration of procainamide (15 mg/kg). The results demonstrated that, in the control state acute atrial ER can be significantly demonstrated at each atrial representative site ( p < 0.001). The mean ERP 400 and ERP 600 shortenings were 9 +/- 4% and 8 +/- 4%, respectively. After procainamide infusion, but not after verapamil, baseline ERP 400 and ERP 600 values were significantly prolonged at the five representative atrial sites ( p < 0.01). Acute atrial ER could still be demonstrated at each atrial site after procainamide or verapamil infusion ( p < 0.001). In conclusion, acute atrial ER can be demonstrated after only a 5-minute period of rapid atrial pacing in humans. Intravenous verapamil or procainamide does not abolish this ER process. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the safety and efficacy of ibutilide when added to propafenone in treating both paroxysmal and chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL). BACKGROUND: The effects of ibutilide in patients with paroxysmal or chronic AF/AFL who were pre-treated with propafenone have not been previously evaluated. METHODS: Oral propafenone was initially given in 202 patients with AF/AFL without left ventricular dysfunction. Intravenous ibutilide was administered in 104 patients in whom propafenone failed to convert the arrhythmia. Two different propafenone dosage regimens were used according to the duration of the presenting arrhythmia: patients with paroxysmal arrhythmia (n = 48) received 600 mg loading dose, and patients with chronic arrhythmia (n = 56) were receiving 150 mg three times a day as stable-dose pre-treatment. RESULTS: Ibutilide offered an overall conversion efficacy of 66.3% (69 of 104 patients), 70.8% for patients with paroxysmal AF/AFL and 62.5% for patients with chronic AF/AFL. Ibutilide significantly decreased the heart rate (HR) and further prolonged the QTc interval (p < 0.0001). The degree of HR reduction after ibutilide administration emerged as the sole predictor of successful arrhythmia termination (p < 0.001). After ibutilide, one patient (1%) developed two asymptomatic episodes of non-sustained torsade de pointes, and 10 patients (9.6%) manifested transient bradyarrhythmic events; however, all bradyarrhythmic effects were predictable, occurring mostly at the time of arrhythmia termination. None of 82 patients who decided to continue propafenone after successful cardioversion had immediate arrhythmia recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: Our graded approach using propafenone and ibutilide appears to be a relatively safe and effective alternative for the treatment of paroxysmal and chronic AF/AFL to both rapidly restore sinus rhythm in nonresponders to monotherapy with propafenone and prevent immediate recurrences of the arrhythmia. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: AVE0118 is a novel blocker of the K(+) channels K(v)1.5 and K(v)4.3 which are the molecular basis for the human cardiac ultrarapid delayed rectifier potassium current (I(Kur)) and the transient outward current (I(to)). The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of AVE0118 on atrial refractoriness (ERP), left atrial vulnerability (LAV) and on left atrial monophasic action potentials (MAP) in pentobarbital anesthetized pigs in comparison to the selective I(Kr) blocker dofetilide in order to assess the therapeutic potential of the novel K(+) channel blocker for atrial fibrillation. METHODS: Atrial ERP was determined with the S1-S2-stimulus method in the free walls of left and right atrium at 240, 300 and 400 ms basic cycle length (BCL). The inducibility of mostly nonsustained atrial tachyarrhythmias by the premature S2 extrastimulus, which is very high in the left pig atrium and referred to as LAV, was evaluated before and after drugs. Left atrial epicardial MAP was recorded to study the influence of the potassium channel blockers on the time course of repolarization. Left ventricular epicardial MAP, ERP and QT interval were measured to investigate a possible effect of AVE0118 on ventricular repolarization. RESULTS: ERPs determined at 240, 300 and 400 ms BCL were significantly shorter in the left vs. right atrium (99+/-3, 106+/-4 and 113+/-3 ms vs. 133+/-4 ms, 142+/-4 and 149+/-5, respectively; p<0.001; n=21). AVE0118 administered i.v. dose-dependently prolonged the atrial ERP independent from rate and inhibited LAV (100% at 0.5 and 1 mg/kg) while having no effect at all on the corrected QT (QTc) interval. At 1 mg/kg (n=5) AVE0118 prolonged left vs. right atrial ERP by 49.6+/-4.1 ms vs. 37.7+/-9.7 ms (means+/-SEM of changes at 240, 300, and 400 ms BCL), respectively, corresponding to a relative increase of 53.2+/-6.2% vs. 27.6+/-6.8% (p<0.05 for percent increase of left vs. right atrial ERP). In a separate group of pigs (n=5) AVE0118 had no effect on left ventricular ERP at 333, 400 and 500 ms BCL and no effect on MAP duration and QT at 600 ms BCL. After 1 mg/kg of AVE0118 the atrial MAP was significantly prolonged already at 10% repolarization (P<0.05; n=7) reaching the maximum at 40% repolarization. In contrast to AVE0118 the effect of dofetilide (10 microg/kg) on atrial MAP started to become significant only at 60% repolarization (n=6) with a maximum increase at 90%. Dofetilide, which prolonged the QTc interval by 16.9% (P<0.001), had a significantly stronger effect on right (34.7+/-5 ms) vs. left atrial ERP (23.5+/-7 ms) at 300 ms BCL, respectively, but did not significantly inhibit LAV (14%; n=6). CONCLUSION: The novel K(+) channel blocker AVE0118 prolonged atrial ERP and showed strong atrial antiarrhythmic efficacy with no apparent effect on ventricular repolarization in pigs in vivo. 相似文献

INTRODUCTION: Early recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after cardioversion may be related to shortening of the atrial effective refractory period (ERP). This study compared the effects of verapamil and ibutilide on AF cycle length (AFCL), atrial ERP, and susceptibility to recurrent AF. METHODS AND RESULTS: In 33 adults, the atrial ERP was measured at basic drive CLs of 350 and 500 msec before and after a brief episode of pacing-induced AF. During AF, verapamil, ibutilide, or saline was infused in 11 patients each. Shortening of the post-AF atrial ERP was attenuated by verapamil and prevented by ibutilide. AFCL shortened by 32+/-21 msec in the verapamil group (P < 0.01), prolonged by 44+/-14 msec in the ibutilide group (P < 0.001), and did not change in the control group. AF converted to sinus rhythm within 10 minutes less often after verapamil (0%) than after ibutilide (82%) or than in the control group (73%). Post-AF, AF lasting > 10 minutes was induced more often in the verapamil group than in the ibutilide group (26% vs 0%; P = 0.01). Another 10 patients received verapamil or ibutilide in the absence of AF. Atrial ERP was unchanged after verapamil and prolonged after ibutilide. CONCLUSION: Verapamil shortens AFCL and impedes the conversion of induced AF, whereas ibutilide prolongs AFCL and does not impede the early conversion of induced AF. Ibutilide is more effective than verapamil in preventing pos 相似文献
