Implication

Procaine amide may aid ventricular arrhythmias refractory to quinidine; case reports leave open its role versus modern agents.

Structured PICO

Does procaine amide suppress arrhythmias in patients with ventricular or auricular arrhythmias?

Population

Patients with cardiac arrhythmias, specifically ventricular premature contractions, ventricular tachycardia, and auricular arrhythmias

Intervention

Procaine amide (administered orally or intravenously)

Outcome

Suppression of ventricular premature contractions and interruption of ventricular tachycardia

Procaine amide is an effective and relatively safe oral or intravenous treatment for ventricular arrhythmias, even in patients who have failed quinidine therapy.
