Antiarrhythmic efficacy and hemodynamic effects of cibenzoline in patients with nonsustained ventricular tachycardia and left ventricular dysfunction.

Abstract: This was a prospective single-blind, placebo-controlled study of. cibenzoline in 21 patients with five or more runs of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) and left ventricular dysfunction (mean left ventricular ejection fraction 36 ± 24%). Ambulatory electrocardiographic monitoring revealed a baseline of 616 ± 431 runs of VT/day on placebo. Of the 18 patients tolerating the drug, 14 (

“…The selection of cibenzoline dose based only on renal function seems to have a risk of toxicity in patients with high BNP values, namely severe heart-failure patients, therefore, careful administration of cibenzoline is required for patients with a low left ventricular ejection fraction. 33 A precise nomogram has been developed for cibenzoline therapy in Japanese patients with impaired renal function, 34 but a further nomogram should be developed based on a pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study for appropriate dosing of cibenzoline in patients with heart failure, because cibenzoline therapy is not the first selected regimen in patients with heart failure because of the large possibility of cardiac depression.…”
