Acute electrophysiologic consequences of pyridostigmine inhibition of cholinesterase in humans

Acute electrophysiologic consequences of pyridostigmine inhibition of cholinesterase in humans

The cardiovascular electrophysiologic basis for the action of pyridostigmine, an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, has not been investigated. The objective of the present study was to determine the cardiac electrophysiologic effects of a single dose of pyridostigmine bromide in an open-label, quasi-ex...
