Clinical Trial Summary

Introduction: Recent studies have suggested that other medications may be superior to amiodarone in controlling ventricular arrhythmias. However, a prospective and randomized comparison with lidocaine has not yet been described.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the use of amiodarone versus lidocaine in patients with stable ventricular tachycardias.

Methodology: For this, a unicentric, randomized and prospective study will be carried out, in which the two drugs will be administered in a comparative manner. Hospital data (test results, medical outcomes, arrhythmia reversal, complications) of patients will be analyzed for safety and effectiveness.

Expected results: The use of lidocaine is not inferior to amiodarone in the tolerability and reversion of stable ventricular tachycardias.
