To assess the clinical antiarrhythmic effect of nicorandil, a potassium channel opener; on premature ventricular contractions.
The effect of oral nicorandil (15 to 60 mg daily for four weeks) on premature ventricular contractions was investigated in 20 patients (11 female, nine male, mean (SD) age 63 (17) years) who underwent 24 hour ambulatory ECG. Patients were classified into two groups based on the relation between the frequency of premature ventricular contractions and heart rate: (1) those with a positive correlation (n = 9); and (2) those with a bidirectional correlation (n = 11), characterised by an increased frequency of premature contractions at low heart rates and a decreased frequency at high heart rates.
Nicorandil reduced the frequency of premature ventricular contractions by 75% in five patients in group 2, but was not effective in any patient in group 1. The heart rate at which the frequency of premature ventricular contractions peaked was significantly lower in the five responders in group 2 than in the six non-responders (63.2 (3.7) v 76.3 (12.4) beats/min, p < 0.05).
Nicorandil may suppress premature ventricular contractions when they occur mainly at a low heart rate.
评估钾通道开放剂尼可地尔对室性早搏的临床抗心律失常作用。
对20例(11例女性,9例男性,平均(标准差)年龄63(17)岁)接受24小时动态心电图监测的患者,研究口服尼可地尔(每日15至60毫克,共四周)对室性早搏的影响。根据室性早搏频率与心率的关系将患者分为两组:(1)呈正相关的患者(n = 9);(2)呈双向相关的患者(n = 11),其特征为低心率时早搏频率增加,高心率时早搏频率降低。
尼可地尔使第2组中的5例患者室性早搏频率降低了75%,但对第1组中的任何患者均无效。第2组中5例有反应者室性早搏频率达到峰值时的心率显著低于6例无反应者(63.2(3.7)对76.3(12.4)次/分钟,p < 0.05)。
当室性早搏主要在低心率时发生时,尼可地尔可能会抑制室性早搏。
