Abstract
The subclassification of Vaughan Williams Class I agents into IA, IB, and IC groups on empiric and clinical grounds has recently been given a cellular electrophysiologic scientific basis. Based on the kinetics of association and dissociation of the drugs with sodium channels, 3 distinct subgroups can be defined. These observations help to explain the clinical utility of the algorithms to use the agents in patients and provide a reference for discussing the new drugs with antiarrhythmic properties being discovered.Entities:
