Alerts to hemodynamic risks with disopyramide in ventricular ectopy; leaves open its role pending higher-level evidence.
Does intravenous disopyramide phosphate reduce ventricular ectopic beats and what are its hemodynamic effects in patients with persistent VEBs?
Intravenous disopyramide effectively suppresses ventricular ectopic beats but causes significant negative inotropic effects, particularly in patients with elevated baseline diastolic pulmonary artery pressure.
Hulting et al. (1976) studied this question.
