Overview of Current Antiarrhythmic Drugs

◘ Table 19.5 summarizes the most widely available antiarrhythmic drugs using the Vaughan Williams classification which focuses on each drug’s principal cardiac channel effects. However, it is recognized that drug actions are much more complex than the Vaughan Williams approach allows and that actual drug effects on arrhythmias are not readily predicted by the classification. Given this important limitation, an attempt has been made to provide a more comprehensive and precise classification of drug effects [71, 72]. This effort (the so-called Sicilian gambit ), while scientifically robust, is necessarily complex and as a result has largely been neglected in recent years.Table 19.5Vaughan Williams classification
