Nifekalant may destabilize reentry in rabbit models; leaves open translation to clinical VT management.
Does nifekalant destabilize and terminate spiral wave reentry in Langendorff-perfused rabbit hearts?
Nifekalant destabilizes and early terminates spiral wave reentry by limiting the proportion of excitable tissue after modulating repolarization.
Yamazaki et al. (2006) studied this question.
