  • Title: Disopyramide--an effective treatment for lignocaine resistant ventricular dysrhythmias.
    Author: Green AG.
    Journal: Scott Med J; 1979 Jan; 24(1):21-4. PubMed ID: 91197.
    Abstract:
    Intravenous disopyramide was used in 13 patients who developed recurrent ventricular dysrhythmias despite initial treatment with intravenous lignocaine after admission to the Coronary Care Unit of a busy district hospital. This was effective in 8 of the 13 patients treated and there was no major side effects observed. Disopyramide has the advantage of being available both as an oral and an intravenous preparation and is a useful drug to be added to the list of more conventional anti-dysrhythmic agents.
