Vernakalant
Vernakalant is an atrial-selective antiarrhythmic agent that blocks cardiac potassium channels (IKur, IKAch) and sodium channels preferentially in atrial tissue due to their higher firing rates, with minimal ventricular electrophysiological effects. It is used for the rapid pharmacological cardioversion of recent-onset atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm. Its atrial selectivity reduces the risk of ventricular proarrhythmia compared to non-selective antiarrhythmic agents.
