Abstract:
Treatment with methadone is associated with severe cardiac arrhythmias, a side effect that seems to result from an inhibition of cardiac hERG K? channels. However, several other opioids are inhibitors of voltage-gated Na? channels. Considering the common assumption that an inhibition of the cardiac Na? channel Na(v)1.5, is the primary mechanism for local anaesthetic (LA)-induced cardiotoxicity, we hypothesized that methadone has LA-like properties leading to a modulation of Na(v)1.5 channels.The...     »
