title: Antiarrhythmic activity of taurhythman.
abstract: Antiarrhythmic properties of taurhythman were demonstrated on experimental models of ventricular (early occlusion and calcium chloride-induced) and atrioventricular (aconitine-induced) arrhythmias. The preparation reduced or prevented episodes of paroxysmal tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, decreased the incidence of arrhythmias, and increased the lethal dose (LD) of arrhythmogenic agents. By its efficiency, taurhythman was superior to procainamide and comparable to lidocaine.
