Ornid refers to a group of sympatholytic agents (see. Oktadin, reserpine). However, it has potent anti-arrhythmic activity.

On the mechanism of sympatholytic actions ornid differs from reserpine and oktadin. Sympatholytic effect is associated with the blocking norepinephrine release from presynaptic nerve terminals and reduction concerning influence on neurotransmitter adrenoceptors. Ornid directly blocking effect on the adrenergic receptors has not.

Ornid mainly used as an antiarrhythmic. It increases the refractory period and is particularly effective for ventricular arrhythmia origin.

To some extent, the antiarrhythmic effect Ornid due to weakening adrenergic effects on the myocardium. It has also been suggested that the basis for action antifibrillyatornogo Ornid (and other simpatolitikov) is blockage of potassium channels of cardiomyocytes, leading to the accumulation of intracellular potassium ions.

As sympatholytic, ornid lowers blood pressure; earlier it was offered as an antihypertensive agent. However, the hypotensive effect is expressed in his moderate.

Assign ornid with ventricular arrhythmias: ventricular tachyarrhythmia, arrhythmia (especially when resistance to other medications).
