Beta-adrenergic blocking drugs as antifibrillatory agents.

Abstract:

:Beta-Adrenergic blockade is associated with a significant reduction in mortality in most patients with structural heart disease. Clinical trial data involving patients after myocardial infarction or with congestive heart failure demonstrate that a reduction in sudden death accounts for much of the observed mortality reduction. Beta-adrenergic blockade inhibits the proarrhythmic effects of both neural and humoral sympathetic stimulation and inhibits the vagal withdrawal that accompanies ischemia. Although it does not have a dramatic effect on spontaneous ectopy or inducible monomorphic ventricular tachycardia, experimental and clinical data suggest that it inhibits the development of ventricular fibrillation by several mechanisms.
