Amiodarone (class III antiarrhythmics) Antiarrhythmic (K channel Blocker) Blocks K channels, Na channel blocker, weak beta blocker, weak alpha blocker, weak Ca channel blocker Supraventricular arrhythmias; ventricular arrhythmia bradycardia; exacerbate CHF ; torsades de pointe; pulmonary fibrosis; deposits on cornea; photodermatitis; neurological (numbness, tremors, ataxia, headaches); hyper/o thyroidism; constipation
Sotalol (class III antiarrhythmics) Antiarrhythmic (K channel Blocker) Blocks K channels; nonselective beta blocker XXX Beta blocking side effects
Verapamil (Class IV antiarrhythmics) Antiarrhythmic (Ca channel Blocker) Ca channel Blocker - shorten the plateau phase of action potential (phase 2 - non nodal); slow conduction velocity (phase 0) and prolong refractory period (Nodal tissue) Supraventricular tachycardia XXX
Adenosine (unclassified antiarrhythmics) Antiarrhythmic (A1 receptor agonist) A1 receptor agonist; activate K channels and inhibit CA channels DOC of supraventricualr tachycardia Bronchoconstriction, vasodilator, flushed appearance, chest pains (burning), strong SOB, flash of a headache, AV block (desired)
Verapamil Calcium Channel Blocker Binds the Phenylalkylamine site on L-type Calcium channel Drug of choice for supraventricular tachycardia Multi-drug resistance, Ankle edema, Hypotension, Headache, Flushing Appearance, Cardiac Depression, Constipation, MI, cancer; Contraindicated in CHF
Nifedipine Calcium Channel Blocker Binds the Dihydropyridine site on L-type Calcium channel Angina Ankle edema, Hypotension, Headache, Flushing Appearance, Cardiac Depression, Constipation, MI, cancer
Diltiazem Calcium Channel Blocker Binds the Benzothiapine site on L-type Calcium channel Angina, HTN Ankle edema, Hypotension, Headache, Flushing Appearance, Cardiac Depression, Constipation, MI, cancer
Captopril ACE-Inhibitor (Class I) Inhibit Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme from converting Angiotension I to Angiotension II, and allows Bradykinin effects to occur HTN, CHF, Diabetic nephropathy Neutropenia/proteinuria/agranulocytosis, Anaphylactoid/angioedema, renal impairment/failure, First-dose hyptension, hyperkalemia, dry cough/whezzing, Dysgeusia, Teratogenic
Enalapril ACE-Inhibitor (Class II) Inhibit Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme from converting Angiotension I to Angiotension II, and allows Bradykinin effects to occur HTN, CHF, Diabetic nephropathy Neutropenia/proteinuria/agranulocytosis, Anaphylactoid/angioedema, renal impairment/failure, First-dose hyptension, hyperkalemia, dry cough/whezzing, Dysgeusia, Teratogenic
Lisinopril ACE-Inhibitor (Class III) Inhibit Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme from converting Angiotension I to Angiotension II, and allows Bradykinin effects to occur HTN, CHF, Diabetic nephropathy Neutropenia/proteinuria/agranulocytosis, Anaphylactoid/angioedema, renal impairment/failure, First-dose hypotension, hyperkalemia, dry cough/whezzing, Dysgeusia, Teratogenic
Losartan (-sartans) Angiotension Receptor Blockers Block Angiotension II (type 1) receptors HTN, CHF (not work very well) Renal impairment/failure, First-dose hypotension, hyperkalemia, Dysgeusia, Teratogenic
Nitroglycerin Organic Nitrate Converted to Nitric Oxide Acute attack of angina XXX
Isosorbide Dinitrate Organic Nitrate Metabolized to isosorbide-5-mononitrate (Ismo), which will give rise to NO Acute attack of angina Orthostatic Hypotension, flushing appearance, tachycardia/palpitations, throbbing headaches, methemoglobinemia, tolerance
Digoxin Digitalis Glycoside Inhibits Na+/K+ ATPase CHF, Anti-arrhythmias (paroxysmal supraventricular tachicardia) Arrhythmias, anorexia, N/V, Headaches, confusion, disorientation, seizures, visual distrubances

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
