Case Report Proarrhythmia Induced by Propafenone: What is the Mechanism?

Francisco Femenía, Jorge Palazzolo, Mauricio Arce, Martin Tc

Abstract

Propafenone, a Class IC antiarrhythmic drug, is an orally active sodium channel-blocking agent. It is effective in supraventricular tachyarrhythmias and is particularly useful in converting atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm. In therapeutic doses, it may cause non-cardiac and cardiac toxicity, including proarrhythmia.
