- Prophylactic Effect of Amiodarone Infusion on Reperfusion Ventricular Fibrillation After Release of Aortic Cross-Clamp in Patients with Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Undergoing Aortic Valve Replacement: A Randomized Controlled Trial. [Journal Article]
- JCJ Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth 2018 Oct 11
- CONCLUSIONS: Amiodarone prevented reperfusion ventricular fibrillation in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy undergoing aortic valve replacement to a greater extent than did lidocaine. Furthermore, amiodarone inhibited postoperative interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha production.

- Brugada pattern exposed with administration of amiodarone during emergent treatment of ventricular tachycardia. [Journal Article]
- AJAm J Emerg Med 2018 Oct 23
- CONCLUSIONS: This case emphasizes the awareness needed to seek out this pattern on subsequent ECG's. With the high lethality of Brugada, the emergency physician must recognize that multiple drugs can evoke this pattern after initial presentation.

- Trends Over Time in Drug Administration During Adult In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest. [Journal Article]
- CCCrit Care Med 2018 Nov 07
- CONCLUSIONS: Prescribing patterns during in-hospital cardiac arrest have changed significantly over time. Changes to American Heart Association Advanced Cardiac Life Support guidelines have had a rapid and substantial effect on the use of a number of commonly used in-hospital cardiac arrest medications.

- Assessment of Non-vitamin K Oral Anticoagulants Use in a Tertiary Care Center in the USA: A Chart Review of 909 Patients. [Journal Article]
- AJAm J Cardiovasc Drugs 2018 Nov 08
- CONCLUSIONS: A significant number of patients received NOACs at doses inconsistent with the package labeling or had clinically significant drug-drug interactions with NOACs. Efforts are warranted to improve appropriate dosing and avoid significant drug interactions.

- Long-term performance of right ventricular pacing leads: risk factors associated with permanent right ventricular pacing threshold increase. [Journal Article]
- JIJ Interv Card Electrophysiol 2018 Nov 06
- CONCLUSIONS: Our data showed that permanent RVPT increases (except lead fracture and dislodgement) during long-term follow-up after pacemaker implantation. The likely risk factors predisposing to chronic permanent RVPT increase are MI and diabetes with higher FBG and HbA1c levels.

- Activity of the antiarrhythmic drug amiodarone against Leishmania (L.) infantum: an in vitro and in vivo approach. [Journal Article]
- JVJ Venom Anim Toxins Incl Trop Dis 2018; 24:29
- CONCLUSIONS: Our findings may help further drug design studies seeking new AMD derivatives that may provide new candidates with an in vitro selectivity close to or even greater than that observed in the prototype delivering effectiveness in the experimental model of VL.

- The Risk of Cardiac Events in Patients Concomitant Levofloxacin and Amiodarone. [Journal Article]
- IJInt J Infect Dis 2018 Oct 29
- CONCLUSIONS: Patients receiving concomitant amiodarone and levofloxacin experienced a five-fold increase in cardiac events compared to patients given either medication alone.

- The comparative effects of esmolol and amiodarone on isolated coronary artery bypass grafts [Journal Article]
- TJTurk J Med Sci 2018 Oct 31; 48(5):1068-1072
- CONCLUSIONS: This in vitro study revealed that even increasing doses of both drugs induce vasodilatation of CABG grafts, with amiodarone having a more potent vasodilatory effect than esmolol.
