Abstract

• Aprindine hydrochloride is an antiarrhythmic agent presently undergoing clinical trials in the United States. Because of the narrow therapeutic-toxic ratio observed for aprindine, the long-term follow-up of these patients is important in determining the potential clinical effectiveness of this drug. In this report we examine our experience with 30 patients with drug-resistant arrhythmias who were discharged receiving aprindine and who were followed up for a mean period of 25 months.
