To study the mechanism of ventricular arrhythmias, the effect of dipyridamole (DIP; 300 mg/day), an adenosine transport inhibitor, on ventricular premature contractions (VPCs) was assessed in 12 patients who showed VPCs (21312±12314/day) on Holter ECG in a controlled setting. The effects were compared with those of verapamil (240 mg/day) and bisoprolol (5 mg/day). DIP suppressed more than one-half the VPCs in 5 patients. The mean degree of reduction in these DIP-responders was 75±18%. Both verapamil and bisoprolol inhibited VPCs in all of the DIP-responders (verapamil: 71±15%, bisoprolol: 88±16%). Two of the 5 DIP-responders had sustained ventricular tachycardias (VT) that were terminated by intravenous DIP, ATP, acetylcholine, verapamil, and propranolol. In contrast, verapamil did not inhibit VPCs in any of the DIP-nonresponders. Bisoprolol also did not suppress VPCs in 3 of 6 DIP-non responders. Heart rate was unaffected by DIP, but was suppressed by both verapamil and bisoprolol. In addition, DIP increased the serum concentration of adenosine (control 16.3 ±17.1 vs 22.3±19.0 pmol/ml after DIP, p<0.05). The inhibitory effect of DIP may involve suppression of Ca++ current through an extracellular increase in adenosine. (Jpn Circ J 1996; 60: 629 - 640)
