    Combined Actions of Ivabradine and Ranolazine Reduce Ventricular Rate During Atrial Fibrillation

    Drug Combination Reduces Ventricular Rate in AF IntroductionVentricular rate during atrial fibrillation (AF) can be reduced by slowing atrioventricular (AV) node conduction and/or by decreasing dominant frequency of AF. We investigated whether combined administration of ivabradine and ranolazine reduces ventricular rate during AF. Methods and ResultsIvabradine (maximum clinical dose, 0.25 mg/kg, and 0.10 mg/kg, i.v.) and ranolazine (2.4 mg/kg, i.v., bolus followed by 0.135 mg/kg/min) were studied in an anesthetized pig (N = 16) model of AF. Combined administration of 0.25 mg/kg ivabradine with ranolazine reduced ventricular rate during AF by 51.9 9.7 beats/min (23%, P = 0.017) and dominant frequency of AF by 2.8 +/- 0.5 Hz (32%, P = 0.005). It increased PR (P = 0.0002, P = 0.0007) and A-H intervals (P = 0.047, P = 0.002) during pacing at 130 and 180 beats/min, respectively, to a greater degree than additive effects of single agents. Combined administration of 0.1 mg/kg ivabradine with ranolazine exceeded additive effects of single agents on A-H intervals and dominant frequency of AF. Moreover, ranolazine potentiated low-dose ivabradine's reduction in ventricular rate, as combined administration more than doubled effects of the higher ivabradine dose alone and was similar to the combination with the higher dose. Neither drug nor their combination affected contractility (left ventricular [LV] dP/dt), QT or His-ventricular (H-V) intervals, or mean arterial pressure during sinus rhythm or AF. ConclusionCombined administration of ivabradine and ranolazine at clinically safe levels decreases ventricular rate during AF by reducing AV node conduction and AF dominant frequency without QT prolongation or depression in contractility. Targeting these actions offers intrinsic advantages over conventional nodal agents, which can reduce contractility.

    The Selective Late Sodium Current Inhibitor Eleclazine, Unlike Amiodarone, Does Not Alter Defibrillation Threshold or Dominant Frequency of Ventricular Fibrillation
    (2017) SILVA, Ana F. G.; BONATTI, Rodolfo; BATATINHA, Julio A. P.; NEARING, Bruce D.; ZENG, Dewan; BELARDINELLI, Luiz; VERRIER, Richard L.
    Introduction: We examined the effects of the selective late INa inhibitor eleclazine on the 50% probability of successful defibrillation (DFT50) before and after administration of amiodarone to determine its suitability for use in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). Methods and Results: In 20 anesthetized pigs, transvenous active-fixation cardiac defibrillation leads were fluoroscopically positioned into right ventricular apex through jugular vein. ICDs were implanted subcutaneously. Dominant frequency of ventricular fibrillation was analyzed by fast Fourier transform. The measurements were made before drug administration (control), and at 40 minutes after vehicle, eleclazine (2 mg/kg, i.v., bolus over 15 minutes), or subsequent/single amiodarone administration (10 mg/kg, i.v., bolus over 10 minutes). Eleclazine did not alter DFT50, dominant frequency, heart rate, or mean arterial pressure (MAP). Subsequent amiodarone increased DFT50 (P = 0.006), decreased dominant frequency (P = 0.022), and reduced heart rate (P = 0.031) with no change in MAP. Amiodarone alone increased DFT50 (P = 0.005; NS compared to following eleclazine) and decreased dominant frequency (P = 0.003; NS compared to following eleclazine). Conclusion: Selective late INa inhibition with eleclazine does not alter DFT50 or dominant frequency of ventricular fibrillation when administered alone or in combination with amiodarone. Accordingly, eleclazine would not be anticipated to affect the margin of defibrillation safety in patients with ICDs.
