Specifically, the effects of diltiazem on atrioventricular (AV) nodal conduction are rate-dependent and allow control of ventricular response rate during rapid atrial pacing in horses undergoing quinidine treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Animals: Fourteen healthy horses.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Methods: Arterial blood pressure, surface electrocardiogram, and right atrial electrogram were recorded during sinus rhythm and during programmed electrical stimulation at baseline, after administration of quinidine gluconate (10 mg\/kg IV over 30 minutes, n = 7; and 12 mg\/kg IV over 5 minutes followed by 5 mg\/kg\/h constant rate infusion for the remaining duration of the study, n = 7), and after coadministration of diltiazem (0.125 mg\/kg IV over 2 minutes repeated every 12 minutes to effect).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: Quinidine significantly prolonged the atrial effective refractory period, shortened the functional refractory period (FRP) of the AV node, and increased the ventricular response rate during atrial pacing. Diltiazem increased the FRP, controlled ventricular rate in a rate-dependent manner, caused dose-dependent suppression of the sinoatrial node and produced a significant, but well tolerated decrease in blood pressure. Effective doses of diltiazem ranged from 0.125 to 1.125 mg\/kg.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusions and Clinical Importance: Standard electrophysiologic techniques allow characterization of drug effects in standing horses. Diltiazem is effective for ventricular rate control in this pacing model of supraventricular tachycardia. The use of diltiazem for rate control in horses with atrial fibrillation merits further investigation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1939-1676.2007.tb02943.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,3,11]],"date-time":"2010-03-11T06:12:10Z","timestamp":1268287930000},"page":"166-175","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Atrial, SA Nodal, and AV Nodal Electrophysiology in Standing Horses: Normal Findings and Electrophysiologic Effects of Quinidine and Diltiazem"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Colin C","family":"Schwarzwald","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The Ohio State University Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, , Columbus, OH"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert L","family":"Hamlin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Ohio State University Department of Veterinary Biosciences, , Columbus, OH"},{"name":"Dorothy M.
