Abstract

Dofetilide is a new class III antiarrhythmic drug that selectively prolongs refractoriness without any effect on conduction by blocking potassium outward channels. It has no negative inotropic effect.1–3 We performed a study to determine the clinical safety and efficacy of increasing dosages of intravenous dofetilide for the termination of atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFl). In addition pharmacokinetic data were collected to investigate a possible relation between dose, plasma concentration, and clinical effect.
