Effects of Advancing Age on the Efficacy and Side Effects of Antiarrhythmic Drugs in Post‐Myocardial Infarction Patients with Ventricular Arrhythmias

Abstract: Older age increases the susceptibility to adverse cardiac events from a class of relatively toxic antiarrhythmic agents.

“…Accordingly, the use of class 1C drugs is limited to patients with structurally normal hearts. A review of data from CAST I and II trials showed that older age is an independent predictor of adverse events, including death, with a relative risk of 1.30 per decade of age with this group of AADs [89].…”

“…При этом по-жилой возраст был независимым предиктором нежела-тельных событий, связанных с применением этих пре-паратов, включая летальный исход. С каждым десяти-летием жизни риск развития нежелательных событий уве-личивался в 1,30 раза [20]. Пожилые пациенты наибо-лее уязвимы в отношении аритмии torsades de pointes вследствие частого наличия у них дополнительных фак-торов риска -гипокалиемии (например, на фоне при-менения диуретиков), брадикардии, застойной сердеч-ной недостаточности, пароксизмальной мерцательной аритмии [13].…”

“…As with most therapeutic options, specific evaluations of this drug in the elderly are lacking. Class IC drugs should be avoided in patients with prior myocardial infarction and depressed ventricular function [28]. Importantly, flecainide can potentiate AV nodal conduction, thus increasing the ventricular response of organized atrial tachyarrhythmias.…”

“…Age itself has been linked to an increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias in patients taking antiarrhythmic medications [28]. The prevalence of both left ventricular dysfunction and ischemic heart disease increases with age, and both of these comorbidities are linked to increased risk of paradoxical proarrhythmic adverse effects of antiarrhythmic medications [26].…”
