Division of Cardiology, Penn State University Heart and Vascular Institute, Penn State University College of Medicine, Hershey, PA 17033, USA
Drugs Today (Barc) 44:325-9. 2008..In addition, preliminary data suggest that it could also suppress recurrences when used orally. This paper reviews the pharmacology, electrophysiology, efficacy and safety of intravenous and oral vernakalant...
Efficacy and safety of dofetilide in patients with atrial fibrillation and atrial flutterJavier E Banchs
Penn State Heart and Vascular Institute, Milton S Hershey Medical Center, Penn State University, 500 University Drive, P O Box 850, Hershey, PA, 17033 0850, USA
J Interv Card Electrophysiol 23:111-5. 2008..It is not known, however, whether pharmacological conversion with dofetilide predicts maintenance of sinus rhythm. In addition, there is limited information comparing the efficacy of dofetilide in persistent versus paroxysmal AF/AFL...
A review of the appropriate and inappropriate use of dronedarone: lessons learned from controlled studies and regulatory submissionGerald V Naccarelli
Heart and Vascular Institute, Penn State University College of Medicine, Hershey, PA, USA
J Cardiovasc Pharmacol Ther 15:24S-30S. 2010..Dronedarone is a novel, multichannel blocking antiarrhythmic agent that may have some pleiotropic effects in addition to its ability to suppress and maintain sinus rhythm and control the rate during AF/AFL recurrences...
