“…Propafenone (2'-[2-hydroxy-3-propylaminopropoxy]-3-phenyl-propiophenone hydrochloride), is a new antiarrhythmic drug which has been found to be clinically effective in the treatment of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias (Beck et al, 1975;Hochrein et al, 1977;Seipel & Breithardt, 1980;Conolly et al, 1983;Karagueuzian et al, 1983;Schlepper & Olsson, 1983). The electrophysiological effects of propafenone have been previously described in atrial (Ledda et al, 1981;Delgado et al, 1984;Dukes & Vaughan Williams, 1984) and ventricular (Bergmann & Holte, 1977;Kohlhardt, 1977;1982;Kohlhardt et al, 1983;Dukes & Vaughan Williams, 1984;Calleja et al, 1985) muscle fibres and in Purkinje fibres (Ledda et al, 1981;Dukes & Vaughan Williams, 1984;Tamargo et al, 1984;Calleja et al, 1985).…”
