The text describes the results of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's Cardiac Arrhythmia Suppression Trial (CAST), which examined the excessive mortality rates in patients treated with encainide or flecainide for asymptomatic non-life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias who had a myocardial infarction. Agranulocytosis, bone marrow depression, neutropenia, hypoplastic anemia and thrombocytopenia have been reported in patients receiving Procainamide hydrochloride at a rate of 0.5%, with fatalities occurring. To reduce this risk, complete blood counts should be performed regularly during the first three months of therapy, and promptly if any signs of infection, bruising, or bleeding appear. If any of these are identified, Procainamide therapy should be discontinued. The text recommends caution in patients with pre-existing marrow failure or cytopenia and highlights the proarrhythmic properties of procainamide.*
