- W2025704703 abstract "Amiodarone was introduced as an antiarrhythmic compound in the early 1970s and was approved in the U.S. for the treatment of refractory ventricular arrhythmias in late 1984. Since that time the drug has become the most widely studied antiarrhythmic compound with expanding potential indications, including maintaining stability of sinus rhythm, secondary prevention in the survivors of myocardial infarction, and prolongation of survival in certain subsets of patients with congestive heart failure. Intravenous amiodarone was introduced in the U.S. in 1995 for the control of recurrent destabilizing ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation resistant to conventional therapy. The level of comfort in its use has risen considerably in the recent past. This has stemmed from the reasonably decisive evidence that class I agents increase mortality in patients with structural heart disease. In contrast, amiodarone either reduces mortality or its effect is neutral; this is consistent with its low to negligible proarrhyfhmic actions. The drug does not aggravate heart failure and it may even increase left ventricular ejection fraction and improve exercise capacity. Above all, it is becoming increasingly evident from wider experience and from controlled clinical trials that the side-effect profile of the drug is not as compelling an issue as it appeared to be when first used in much higher doses. Therefore, the overall objective of amiodarone therapy is to use the lowest dose that produces a defined therapeutic end point without causing serious side effects. Careful clinical surveillance in conjunction with monitoring of certain laboratory parameters and indices of efficacy at regular intervals permits the drug to be used effectively in a large number of patients who fail to respond to, or are intolerant of other antiarrhythmic compounds. Many experienced clinicians have begun to consider the use of amiodarone as first-line therapy in certain disorders of rhythm, especially in patients with severely compromised ventricular function." @default.
