8 Μαΐ 2023 · Procainamide is a medication used to manage and treat ventricular arrhythmias, supraventricular arrhythmias, atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation, AV nodal re-entrant tachycardia, and Wolf-Parkinson-White syndrome. It is a Class 1A antiarrhythmic agent.
The mean dose of procainamide was 1207 ± 487 mg/day. Procainamide therapy significantly decreased ICD interventions (median 5 [0–22.5] vs 15.5 [3–32.25], P < .05). Procainamide also decreased the total number of VT/VF episodes (median 5.5 [0.75–30] vs 19 [7.5–30], P < .05). Only 3 patients (8.8%) presented severe side effects (dyspnea ...
procainamide might represent an alternative strategy for pre-venting the recurrence of ventricular tachyarrhythmias and ICD discharges. Procainamide is a class 1a antiarrhythmic agent whose primary mechanism is related to its antagonism of cardiac sodium channels delaying phase 0 of the cardiac cycle. Procainamide and its metabolite N-acetyl ...
3 Σεπ 2024 · Note: Not recommended for use in ongoing ventricular fibrillation (VF) or pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT) due to prolonged administration time and uncertain efficacy. Follow with maintenance dose as continuous infusion.
For monomorphic ventricular tachycardia with a pulse or polymorphic ventricular tachycardia with a pulse (not due to torsades de pointes), administer procainamide at 1-2 grams over 5-60 minutes. See the dosage table above for further details.
Antiarrhythmic infusions for stable wide-QRS tachycardia procainamide IV dose: 20–50 mg/min until arrhythmia suppressed, hypotension ensues, QRS duration increases > 50% or maximum dose 17 mg/kg given. Maintenance infusion: 1–4 mg/min. Avoid if prolonged QT or CHF.
