Experimental antifibrillatory effects of calcium channel blockade with diltiazem: comparison with beta-blockade and nitroglycerin.

Abstract:

:Calcium channel blockade appears to be at least as effective as beta-blockade in the treatment of anginal syndromes, but whether a similar protective effect is afforded against sudden death is unknown. In order to compare experimental antifibrillatory effects of calcium channel blockade (diltiazem), beta-adrenoceptor blockade (timolol), and nitroglycerin, we measured ventricular fibrillation (VF) thresholds in anesthetized, open-chest dogs before and after 3 min of coronary ischemia before and after i.v. administration of each of these drugs or saline. In control studies, VF occurred after delivery of 11.8 +/- 5.3 mA (X +/- SD) in the nonischemic state and 9.4 +/- 4.6 mA during ischemia (n = 25). During saline administration, no significant change in VF threshold occurred during ischemia, and a minimal increase over time occurred in the nonischemic state. Diltiazem (0.04-0.08 mg/kg/min; n = 10) increased VF thresholds under both ischemic (by 7.7 mA, p less than .01) and nonischemic (by 5.5-5.8 mA, p less than .05) conditions. Timolol (0.03 mg/kg; n = 8) caused substantially greater increases in VFT during nonischemia and ischemia: 11.2 +/- 2.8 mA to 51.6 +/- 38.5 mA (nonischemia) and 8.4 +/- 3.8 mA to 28.7 +/- 16.4 mA (ischemia), both p less than 0.02. VF thresholds were not changed after nitroglycerin (n = 8). Differing experimental effects of these drugs emphasize the need for clinical studies to establish the relative potential of calcium channel blockade and nitroglycerin to reduce mortality in ischemic heart disease.
