Abstract

The toxic interaction between disopyramide and propranolol were studied in chick embryos. Fertilized eggs of White Leghorns were incubated and investigated. Disopyramide with and without propranolol was injected into the air sac of a fertilized egg on the 16th day of incubation. Electrocardiograms (ECGs) were recorded 0 to 60 min after the injection. After each drug injection alone, the heart rate was not different compared with control. However, the heart rate was significantly decreased by combination with disopyramide and propranolol. In addition, arrhythmia was produced by disopyramide 1.0 mg/egg alone and in combination with propranolol. These findings indicate that the interaction between disopyramide and propranolol has a marked influence on the heart rate in chick embryos.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
