title: [Activation of the sympathetic nervous system influences the antifibrillatory effect of class I antiarrhythmic drugs].
abstract: The experiments with anesthetized rats showed that drugs belonging to various subclasses of class I antiarrhytmic agents (novocainamide, IA; lidocaine, IB; ethacizine, IC) produce a pronounced antifibrillatory and antiarrhythmic action under the conditions of a 7-min occlusion followed by reperfusion of the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery. In the arrhythmia model with beta-adrenoreceptors stimulated by isoproterenol, novocainamide (IA) and lidocaine (IB) retained their efficacy, in contrast to ethacizine (IC). This difference in the behavior of antiarrhythmic drugs may be related to their different antiarrhythmogenic potentials.
