“The arrhythmogenic doses of epinephrine in the presence of flecainide were 8.2 ± 2.2 (mean ± sd), 7.4 ± 6.1, 5.5 ± 2.8, and 2.0 ± 0.5 &mgr;g/kg in intact and diabetic rats 2, 4, and 6 wk after streptozotocin administration, respectively.”
“ Flecainide , E-4031, and verapamil markedly reduced the duration of arrhythmias induced by epinephrine , 8 µg/kg intravenously (P < 0.01), whereas only amiodarone markedly reduced the duration of arrhythmias Induced by epinephrine, 16 µg/kg intravenously (P < 0.01).”
