The electrophysiological effects of intravenous administration of disopyramide (1.5 mg/kg) were studied in 26 patients with sinus node dysfunction (SND). Disopyramide shortened spontaneous cycle length (SCL) in 12 patients and lengthened it in 4. Maximum sinus node recovery time (max SRT) was prolonged in 9 patients and shortened in 6. Estimated sinoatrial conduction time (SACT) was prolonged in 4 and shortened in 4 out of 10 patients in whom this measurement was possible. However, these changes in PA and AH intervals significant. Neither were there any significant changes in PA and AH intervals nor refractory periods of the AV node. HV intervals and refractory periods of the atrium at matched cycle length were significantly lengthened. Atrial echo beats and atrial premature beats disappeared in 7 of 12 patients treated with disopyramide. In all of these 7 patients atrial refractory period were increased. Thus, the disappearance of atrial echo beats and atrial premature beats was thought to be due to a prolonged atrial refractoriness. In 4 patients who had supraventricular arrhythmias without having either marked prolongation of max SRT or episodes of syncope, disopyramide was administered orally for a long term, during which these arrhythmias and symptoms disappeared and sinus rate increased. These results suggest that disopyramide is useful in patients with SND and supraventricular arrhythmias.
