Amiodarone hydrochloride has been used to study its interaction with cysteamine to stimulate autophagy in cultured biosensor cell lines. It has also been used in larval and adult organ toxicogenomic screening to analyze the transcriptional effects of pharmaceuticals.
Because of its potential toxicity and lack of experience with use in canine and equine patients, amiodarone is usually used when other less toxic or commonly used drugs are ineffective. It may be useful in dogs and horses to convert atrial fib into sinus rhythm and in dogs for arrhythmias associated with left ventricular dysfunction. In horses, one horse with Ventricular tachycardia was converted into sinus rhythm using amiodarone.
As the risk of sudden death is high in Doberman pinschers exhibiting rapid, wide-complex ventricular tachycardia or syncope with recurrent VPC's, amiodarone may be useful when other drug therapies are ineffective.
