8 Summary of the molecular targets and potential therapeutic uses of a selection of drugs that block K + channels and that have been developed to treat arrhythmia. Drug Company Molecular target Therapeutic use Amiodarone Dronedarone Sanofi Wyeth-Ayerst Sanofi-Aventis Multiple: Na +, Ca 2+ and K + channel blockade Multiple: similar to amiodarone Dofetilide Pfizer I Kr -blocker D/L-sotalol/D-sotalol Vernakalant Berlex/Bristol Myers Squibb I Kr K + channel blockade (and β-bl) Maintenance of sinus rhythm Maintenance of sinus rhythm Maintenance of sinus rhythm Maintenance of sinus rhythm N i faf Cardiome Pharma Corp Mixed Na+, K + channel Cardioversion of, blocker maintenance of SR Azilimide Proctor and Gamble I Kr and I Ks blockade NIP-151 Nissan Pharmaceuticals I Kach -blocker 8 Maintenance of sinus rhythm Maintenance of sinus rhythm

9 Ranolazine New data presented this week has shown that the novel antianginal agent ranolazine (Ranexa), an inhibitor of the late phase of the sodium current, is safe, with investigators finding no evidence of an excess risk of arrhythmia or sudden cardiac death, according to an analysis of the MERLIN TIMI 36 study. Ranolazine actually resulted in significant decreases in many types of arrhythmias--in particular, ventricular tachycardia. 9

19 Needle angle is adjusted according to the region that the operator wishes to access. This region is most frequently the medial third of the right ventricle, where, based on the coronary angiography, no major coronary vessels arefound.
