2. Mexiletine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexiletine

   Mexiletine has several uses including the treatment of abnormal heart rhythms or arrhythmias, chronic pain, and myotonia. In general when treating arrhythmias, mexiletine is reserved for use in dangerous heart rhythm disturbances such as ventricular tachycardia. [3] It is of particular use when treating arrhythmias caused by long QT syndrome. [4]

3. Arrhythmia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhythmia

   Several groups of drugs slow conduction through the heart, without actually preventing an arrhythmia. These drugs can be used to "rate control" a fast rhythm and make it physically tolerable for the patient. [citation needed] Some arrhythmias promote blood clotting within the heart and increase the risk of embolus and stroke.

4. Domperidone - Wikipedia

   [11] [12] The oral tablets are available in the strength of 10 mg. [2] Domperidone has been studied for use by intramuscular injection and an intravenous formulation was previously available, but the medication is now only available in forms for oral and rectal administration.

5. Parasystole - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasystole

   Parasystole is a kind of arrhythmia caused by the presence and function of a secondary pacemaker in the heart, which works in parallel with the SA node. Parasystolic pacemakers are protected from depolarization by the SA node by some kind of entrance block. This block can be complete or incomplete.

6. Antiarrhythmic agent - Wikipedia

   It presents the drugs on two axes, instead of one, and is presented in tabular form. On the Y axis, each drug is listed, in roughly the Singh-Vaughan Williams order. On the X axis, the channels, receptors, pumps, and clinical effects are listed for each drug, with the results listed in a grid.

7. Junctional ectopic tachycardia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junctional_Ectopic_Tachycardia

   Junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET) is a rare syndrome of the heart that manifests in patients recovering from heart surgery. [1] It is characterized by cardiac arrhythmia, or irregular beating of the heart, caused by abnormal conduction from or through the atrioventricular node (AV node).

8. Proarrhythmia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proarrhythmia

   Proarrhythmia is a new or more frequent occurrence of pre-existing arrhythmias, paradoxically precipitated by antiarrhythmic therapy, which means it is a side effect associated with the administration of some existing antiarrhythmic drugs, as well as drugs for other indications. In other words, it is a tendency of antiarrhythmic drugs to ...

9. Automatic tachycardia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_tachycardia

   Ectopic atrial tachycardia (EAT), also known as automatic atrial tachycardia, is an arrhythmia caused by both atria with abnormally fast atrial rates. [12] The ectopic focus's firing rate is quicker than that of the sinus node, and it overrides normal sinus node activity. Heart rates in children and adolescents can range from 130 to 210 beats ...
