CARDIAC THERAPY


Onconews.org provides news on cancer research. This section, which includes profiles on medicines that may or not be cancer-related is in beta form. If things run smoothly we will be releasing a new format late in the summer of 2006. In the meantime, thank you for your patience.
AdenosineFor the conversion to sinus rhythm of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT), including that associated with accessory bypass tracts (Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome)
AmiodaroneFor the treatment of life-threatening recurrent ventricular arrhythmias;
Creatine
DigoxinFor the treatment and management of Congestive cardiac insufficiency, arrhythmias and heart failure
Digoxin Immune FabFor treatment of digitoxin overdose or digitalis glycoside toxicity
DisopyramideFor the treatment of documented ventricular arrhythmias, such as sustained ventricular tachycardia, ventricular pre-excitation and Cardiac dysrhythmias
DobutamineFor inotropic support in the short- term treatment of patients with cardiac decompensation due to depressed contractility resulting either from organic heart disease or from cardiac surgical procedures
DofetilideFor the maintenance of normal sinus rhythm (delay in time to recurrence of atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter [AF/AFl]) in patients with atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter of greater than one week duration who have been converted to normal sinus rhythm
DopamineFor the correction of hemodynamic imbalances present in the shock syndrome due to myocardial infarction, trauma, endotoxic septicemia, open-heart surgery, renal failure, and chronic cardiac decompensation as in congestive failure
EncainideFor management of irregular heartbeats to a normal rhythm
EpinephrineFor the treatment of Anaphylatic reactions
FlecainideFor the prevention of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardias (PSVT), including atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia, atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia and other supraventricular tachycardias of unspecified mechanism associated with disablin
IbuprofenFor management of pain (muscular and rheumatic), sprains, strains, backache and neuralgia
Isosorbide DinitrateFor the prevention of angina pectoris due to coronary artery disease
Isosorbide MononitrateFor the prevention of angina pectoris due to coronary artery disease and the treatment of acute and chronic angina pectoris, hypertension, and myocardial infarction.
LidocaineFor use as Dermal anesthesia
MetaraminolFor the treatment and prevention of hypotension due to hemorrhage, spinal anesthesia, and shock associated with brain damage
MethoxamineIndicated for the treatment and management of hypotension.
MexiletineFor the treatment of documented ventricular arrhythmias, such as sustained, life
MilrinoneIndicated for the treatment of congestive heart failure.
NitroglycerinFor the prevention of angina
PhentermineIndicated for the treatment and management of obesity.
PhenylephrineFor the treatment of ophthalmic disorders (hyperaemia of conjunctiva, posterior synechiae, acute atopic), nasal congestion, hemorrhoids, hypotension, shock, hypotension during spinal anesthesia, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. It is also used as an aid in the diagnosis of heart murmurs and for prolongation of spinal anesthesia
ProcainamideFor the treatment of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias
PropafenoneFor the treatment of ventricular arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia,
QuinidineFor the treatment of ventricular pre-excitation and cardiac dysrhythmias
Sparteine
