Dofetilide for the treatment of premature ventricular complexes and ventricular tachycardia in patients with structural heart disease

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Abstract Background Dofetilide is a class III antiarrhythmic agent approved for the treatment of atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. Among the 32 patients with PVCs who successfully started dofetilide, the mean PVC burden decreased from 2010% to 88% at a median follow-up of 2.6 months ( p <.001).
