Why the study?
While Na+ channel suppression and resulting negative inotropy from flecainide are well described, the underlying mechanism or mechanisms remain unknown.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
In silico modeling demonstrates that flecainide-induced negative inotropy is multifactorial, involving QRS widening, off-target effects, and altered intracellular calcium and sodium homeostasis.
Yang et al. (2021) studied this question.
