Methods, compositions, dosing regimes, and routes of administration for
the treatment or prevention of arrhythmias. In these methods, early
afterdepolarizations and prolongation of QT interval may be reduced or
eliminated by administering ion channel modulating compounds to a subject
in need thereof. The ion channel modulating compounds may be
cycloalkylamine ether compounds, particularly cyclohexylamine ether
compounds. Also described are compositions of ion channel modulating
compounds and drugs which induce early afterdepolarizations, prolongation
of QT interval and/or Torsades de Pointes.
