Lignocaine is the preferred antiarrhythmic for
emergency control of cardiac arrhythmias following
acute myocardial infarction because:
A. It has a rapidly developing and titratable
antiarrhythmic action
B. It causes little myocardial depression and
hypotension
C. It has broad spectrum antiarrhythmic efficacy
in atrial as well as ventricular arrhythmias
D. Both ‘A’ and ‘B’ are correct
