Why the study?
Do class Ic antiarrhythmic drugs affect ventricular fibrillation threshold and defibrillation threshold in anesthetized open-chest dogs?
Do class Ic antiarrhythmic drugs affect ventricular fibrillation threshold and defibrillation threshold in anesthetized open-chest dogs?
Class Ic antiarrhythmic drugs prevent ventricular fibrillation but can increase defibrillation threshold at high doses, requiring caution in patients with implantable defibrillators.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Class Ic effects on VFT/DFT in dogs remain hypothesis-generating; leaves open translation to human ICD safety.
