AB Quinidine,  procainamide  (Pronestyl),  and  disopyramide  (Norpace)  are  type  Ia  antiarrhythmic  agents.  These  agents  are  used  primarily  for  suppression  of  supraventricular  arrhythmias.  Disopyramide  is  also  used  to  treat  hypertrophic  obstructive  cardiomyopathy.  Procainamide  oral  preparations  are  not  available  in  the  United  States  but  are  available  in  some  other  countries.  All  three  agents  have  a  low  toxic-to-therapeutic  ratio  and  may  produce  fatal  intoxication  (Table  II–55).  See  the  description  of  other  antiarrhythmic  agents.
