Long-term therapy with disopyramide phosphate: side effects and effectiveness.

J L Bauman, J Gallastegui, B Strasberg

    American Heart Journal
    |April 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Long-term disopyramide phosphate therapy effectively managed tachyarrhythmias in 60% of patients, with most tolerating side effects. However, 22% experienced recurrent symptoms, and 21% faced intolerable side effects within a year.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Clinical Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Tachyarrhythmias pose significant clinical challenges.
    • Disopyramide phosphate is a potential therapeutic agent for managing these arrhythmias.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of disopyramide phosphate in patients with recurrent symptomatic tachyarrhythmias.

    Main Methods:

    • 40 patients with documented tachyarrhythmias received disopyramide phosphate therapy.
    • Patients were monitored for efficacy (recurrence of symptoms) and safety (side effects) over an extended period.

    Main Results:

    • Disopyramide was effective and tolerated in 60% of patients over a median follow-up of 23 months.
    • 70% of patients reported side effects, primarily anticholinergic, with 21% experiencing intolerable effects at 12 months.

  • 22% of patients had symptomatic recurrences of tachyarrhythmia during therapy.

    • Conclusions:

    • Disopyramide phosphate demonstrates sustained efficacy and tolerability in a majority of patients with tachyarrhythmias.
    • Careful monitoring for anticholinergic side effects and treatment effectiveness is crucial for long-term disopyramide therapy.
