Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of the Efficacy of Cardioversion by Vernakalant and Comparators in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

Abstract: In pair-wise comparisons of active treatment arms to one another, results suggest vernakalant IV, propafenone IV and flecainide appear to be effective in achieving rapid cardioversion in patients with short duration AF compared to other agents. Application of these findings to clinical practice need to account for the variable comorbidity profiles of patients, important determinants in the selection of appropriate therapy for individual patients. Though best practice methods were used, further research compari… Show more

“…4,5 However, the administration of propafenone in this study deviated from the regimen recommended in clinical guidelines: all patients were treated with a single slow bolus of 70 mg (1 vial) without any additional boluses or infusions of the drug, while guidelines suggest doses of up to 2 mg/kg of body mass. 2,3 Similarly to the antazoline group, intravenous β -blocker, saline, potassium, and magnesium were administered during the cardioversion.…”

“…Antazoline was reported to have a rapid onset of action and times to conversion ranging between 7 and 20 minutes, while the effectiveness of propafenone might improve with time. 4,5,[10][11][12] To set the study within a time perspective, the average time of stay among 199 patients with AF treated in our ED in 2015 was 180.5 ±105.2 minutes (range, 10-627 minutes); median, 161 minutes (IQR, 110; 235].…”

“…Leki antyarytmiczne mogą przywracać rytm zatokowy u pacjentów z AF (kardiowersja farmakologiczna), co wykazano w małych kontrolowanych próbach klinicznych, metaanalizach [41,584,595,596] oraz niewielu większych kontrolowanych próbach klinicznych [597][598][599][600][601][602][603][604][605]. Poza Europą jest dostępny dofetilid, który może przerwać AF o niedawnym początku [606].…”

“…Alternatywny lek to ibutilid, jeżeli jest on dostępny, ale jego stosowanie wiąże się z ryzykiem wystąpienia torsade de pointes [615]. Wernakalant [602][603][604][605] można podawać pacjentom z mało nasiloną niewydolnością serca (I lub II klasa wg NYHA), włącznie z pacjentami z chorobą niedokrwienną serca, pod warunkiem że nie stwierdza się u nich niskich wartości ciśnienia tętniczego ani ciężkiej stenozy aortalnej [616][617][618]. Amiodaron można stosować u pacjentów z niewydolnością serca lub chorobą niedokrwienną serca (choć pacjentów z ciężką niewydolnością serca wykluczano z większości prób klinicznych kardiowersji AF) [596].…”
