Mechanism of action

Dronedarone is a multichannel blocker that inhibits potassium currents (IKr, IKs, IKur, IKAch), sodium channels, L-type calcium channels, and has non-competitive beta-adrenergic blocking properties. These actions prolong cardiac action potential duration and refractory period, helping to maintain normal sinus rhythm.
