Quinidine is a medication that acts as a class I antiarrhythmic agent (Ia) in the heart.[1] It is a stereoisomer of quinine, originally derived from the bark of the cinchona tree. The drug causes increased action potential duration, as well as a prolonged QT interval. As of 2019 it is no longer being manufactured for use in the United States.[2] .mw-parser-output .toclimit-2 .toclevel-1 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimit-3 .toclevel-2 ul,.mw-parser-output .toclimi...
