Svensk definition
Medel som används för att behandla eller förebygga hjärtarytmier. De kan påverka aktionspotentialens polariserings-repolariseringsfas, membranpotentialen mm. Antiarytmimedlen delas ofta in i fyra huvud- grupper, beroende på verkningsmekanism: natriumkanalblockering, betaadrenerg blockering, förlängning av repolariseringen eller kalciumkanalblockering.
Engelsk definition
Agents used for the treatment or prevention of cardiac arrhythmias. They may affect the polarization-repolarization phase of the action potential, its excitability or refractoriness, or impulse conduction or membrane responsiveness within cardiac fibers. Anti-arrhythmia agents are often classed into four main groups according to their mechanism of action: sodium channel blockade, beta-adrenergic blockade, repolarization prolongation, or calcium channel blockade.
