  • Title: [New amiodarone protocol in the treatment of refractory arrhythmias].
    Author: Salamé E, Checrallah E, Abou Jaoudé S, Halaby J.
    Journal: J Med Liban; 1992; 40(4):187-9. PubMed ID: 1339904.
    Abstract:
    The new protocol of amiodarone was proposed to treat and to prevent some paroxysm and refractory arrhythmias with classic treatments. It is to administer an oral charge dose of 30mg/kg/day of amiodarone taken in one time during three days, then reduce progressively that posology. This protocol was applied on 60 patients with a success of 75% and a recur of 3.5%. Few secondary effects were observed, all reversible with the end of protocol. But no cardiac decompensation, no pro-arrhythmogene effect were signaled and especially no cardiac failure.
