Verapamil shows minimal efficacy in this canine model; leaves open its role in human post-MI arrhythmia management.
Does verapamil prevent PES-induced ventricular arrhythmias in dogs in the late myocardial infarction period?
Verapamil has negligible value for managing PES-induced ventricular arrhythmias in the late myocardial infarction period in a canine model.
Krejcy et al. (1992) studied this question.
