Abstract
Many of the newer antiarrhythmic agents are said to cause minimal myocardial depression, but their hemodynamic effects have not been invasively evaluated and compared in patients with severe chronic heart failure. In a randomized, crossover study, the hemodynamic responses to single oral doses of procainamide (750 mg), tocainide (600 mg), and encainide (50 mg) given to 21 patients with severe chronic heart failure were compared. Cardiac performance decreased with all three drugs, but the magnitude of deterioration differed among the three agents. Stroke volume index decreased with procainamide (-5 +/- 1 ml/m2, p less than 0.001), tocainide (-7 +/- 1 ml/m2, p less than 0.001), and encainide (-8 +/- 1 ml/m2, p less than 0.001), but the decline was significantly greater with encainide than with procainamide (p less than 0.05). Similarly, left ventricular filling pressure increased with tocainide and encainide (+4 +/- 1 and +5 +/- 2 mm Hg, respectively; both p less than 0.05), but not with procainamide; the increase was significantly greater with tocainide and encainide than with procainamide (p less than 0.001). These deleterious hemodynamic effects were accompanied by worsening symptoms of heart failure in six patients with encai...Continue Reading
