ANTIARRHYTHMIC DRUG DOSAGES
AND PREPARATIONS FOR CHILDREN
Sixth Edition
2004-2005
Compiled by:
George F. Van Hare, M.D.
Pediatric Arrhythmia Center at UCSF and Stanford
Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, and the UCSF Children's HospitalDisclaimers
This Antiarrhythmic Drug Guide was put together as a set of notes derived from elsewhere, with a focus on pediatric considerations. In particular, it answers the most frequent questions that I get concerning the use of these agents in children, and is handy when writing prescriptions or in-patient orders. The purpose was not to be exhaustive in the scope of data included, particularly with respect to interactions and cautions. The PDR is available and should be used if a complete account of prescribing information is desired. Don't sue me.
This guide is not a substitute for a cardiology fellowship or consult. It is organized using the Vaughn Williams classification of antiarrhythmic drug effects. If this is unfamiliar, you could look it up.
Also, I may have misspelled a few things.
