Effects of cilostazol in the heart
Cilostazol is a selective phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE3) inhibitor approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treatment of intermittent claudication. It has also been used in bradyarrhythmic patients to increase heart rates. Recently, cilostazol has been shown to prevent ventricular fibrillation i...
