title: Electrocardiographic and hemodynamic effects of tocainide (W-36095) in man.
abstract: Tocainide is a new antiarrhythmic drug with a chemical structure related to that of lidocaine. In the present study, healthy volunteers were investigated after infusion of tocainide 450 mg over 45 min. In nine subjects His bundle electrograms, sinus recovery time and ventricular effective refractory periods were recorded. No major changes were seen. In eight cases the hemodynamic effects at rest and during exercise were studied. No significant circulatory effects were observed. No clinically important side-effects were noted.
