In a functional model of circus movement atrial flutter, azimilide dihydrochloride terminates and prevents reinduction of atrial flutter by a preferential increase in refractoriness leading to further conduction delay and conduction block in the slow zone of the functional reentrant circuit.

In the canine right atrial enlargement model of circus movement atrial flutter, both azimilide 10 mg/kg i.v. and dofetilide 3 microg/kg i.v. were 100% effective in terminating flutter and preventing reinduction. Efficacy relied on a similar mechanism of differentially prolonged refractoriness in the slow conduction component of the reentrant circuit where drug-induced termination occurred.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
