After several days of loading, oral amiodarone, a class III antiarrhythmic, is highly effective in controlling ventricular tachyarrhythmias; however, the delay in onset of activity is not acceptable in patients with immediately life-threatening arrhythmias. Therefore, an intravenous form of therapy is advantageous. This study was designed to compare the safety and efficacy of a high and a low dose of intravenous amiodarone with bretylium, the only approved class III antiarrhythmic agent.
