Abstract:
Objective To compare the effectiveness of propafenone,(intravenous and oral) and lanatoside C in reversing atrial fibrillation (AF) and their safety in non-rheumatic patients.Methods Ninety-seven recent onset(≥0 5h～41days) AF patients were included. Subjects with valvular heart disease, heart failure (NYHA heart function≥Ⅲ degree),myocardial infarction, sick sinus syndrome, atrioventricular block(≥Ⅱ degree), preexcitation syndrome and hyperthyroidism were excluded. Three groups were subdivided according to the results:⑴ The group of intravenous propafenone(groupⅠ):thirty-three patients were given intravenous injection propafenone 70 mg within 7 minutes, the non-converted patients were given another 140 mg (0 5～1mg/min) intravenous infusion. ⑵The group of oral loading dose propafenone: Thirty-two patients were given propafenone 450 mg orally(groupⅡ).⑶The group of intravenous lanatoside C(groupⅢ):Thirty-two patients were given intravenous lanatoside C 0 4 mg within five minutes and another 0 2 mg must be added to if AF was not reversed in 4 hours. EKG, blood pressure, symptoms, AF reversing and ventricular rate were closely observed under heart monitoring all patients. The time from intravenous injection or receiving the drug to reversing the AF to sinus rhythm was recorded. Observing the reversal rate and time of the three groups of patients for 30 minutes,1h, 2h, 4h, 8h respectively, we could get the results as follows.Results Average reversal time is: group Ⅰ (0 8?0 4)h, group Ⅱ(4 1?1 8)h. group Ⅲ(3 7?2 0)h, There was a prominent difference (P0 05).Conclusion Of the above three methods in reversing AF, the average reversal time of intravenous propafenone is the shortest, and the have the most efficient reversal rate.
