  • Look Inside

The effect of mexiletine on human atrial vulnera-bility was investigated in 14 subjects (8 with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, 2 with paroxysmal atrial tachycardia, 2 with ventricular tachycardia, 1 with sick sinus syndrome and 1 with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome).

During the electrophysiologic study, after 8 consecutive stimuli (A1) were delivered through theelectorode catheter positioned at high right atrium, premature stimulus (A2) was introduced, and follo-wing measurements were made ; 1) Aw : atrial activity width of A1, 2) maximum atrial fragmenta-tion (MAF) : the longest atrial activity width of A1, which was expressed by the relative value against Aw, 3) fragmented atrial activity zone (FAZ) : the zone of the coupling interval (A1A2) with the prolongation of the atrial activity width at A2 more than 150% against Aw, 4) conduction delay zone (CDZ) : the zone of A1A2 with the prolongation more than 20 msec of the intraatrial conduction time at A2 from high right atrium to coronary sinus or low right atrium against the intraatrial conduction time at A1, and 5) right atrial effective refractory period (RAERP). These measurements were repeated after the intravenous administration of mexiletine (2 mg/kg/10 min).

3 cases (case 12, 13 and 14), whose FAZ and CDZ were 0 msec, were excluded from the following evaluation. Mexiletine showed little effect on Aw and RAERP, but singnificantly shortened MAF and FAZ (p<0. 001 and p<0.05, respectively). CDZ were also reduced in 3 cases and remained unchan-ged in 6 cases, though no statistical difference of CDZ was recognized between before and after the administration of mexiletine.

We conclude that mexiletine could reduce human atrial vulnerability, and that the mechanism of this reduction might be owing to the improved intraatrial conduction delay by mexiletine.
