1. The cardioprotective effects of antiarrhythmic agents classified as class III, amiodarone, sotalol and E-4031, were investigated in anaesthetized dogs. 2. The left anterior descending coronary artery was occluded for 2 h. 3. Heart mitochondria were prepared from both the ischaemic and non-ischaemic areas, and their function was estimated polarographically. 4. Activities of the lysosomal enzymes, N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase and beta-glucuronidase, were measured in each fraction. 5. Two hour occlusion induced ventricular arrhythmias, and amiodarone, sotalol and E-4031 greatly suppressed the development of arrhythmias. 6. Amiodarone, sotalol and E-4031 significantly protected mitochondria against ischaemia, and prevented ischaemia-induced leakage of lysosomal enzymes. 7. Antiarrhythmic agents classified as class III show cardioprotective effects, which might participate in their antiarrhythmic effect.
