    Disopyramide effectively restores sinus rhythm in approximately 60% of arrhythmia cases. This antiarrhythmic drug also eliminates extrasystoles in 80% of patients, with higher success rates following myocardial infarction.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Pharmacology

    Context:

    • Cardiac arrhythmias are common and can lead to serious complications.
    • Myocardial infarction can trigger significant cardiac rhythm disturbances.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of intravenous disopyramide in treating cardiac arrhythmias.
    • To assess the effectiveness of disopyramide in patients with recent myocardial infarction and in eliminating extrasystoles.

    Summary:

    • Intravenous disopyramide (1.5 mg/kg) successfully restored sinus rhythm in about 60% of patients with arrhythmias.
    • Efficacy increased to 70% in patients with recent myocardial infarction.
    • Disopyramide eliminated extrasystoles in 80% of cases, irrespective of the underlying heart condition.

    Impact:

    • Disopyramide demonstrates significant antiarrhythmic properties, particularly in post-myocardial infarction patients.
    • The drug is effective in managing extrasystoles across various cardiopathies.
    • Slow intravenous administration with monitoring of arterial pressure and E.C.G. is recommended to minimize potential side effects.
