Question
Answer
Class I Antiarrhythmic Drugs   Na+ Channel Blockers  
🗑
Class II Antiarrhythmic Drugs   Beta-adrenoreceptor Blockers  
🗑
Class III Antiarrhyhtmic Drugs   Potassium Channel Blockers  
🗑
Class IV Antiarrhythmic Drugs   Calcium Channel Blockers  
🗑
Class IA   Quinidine, Procainamide, Disopyramide, Amiodarone  
🗑
Quinidine - MOA   Slows upstroke AP & conduction; prolongs QRS duration via blockage of Na+ Channels; AP prolongation via K+ Channel blockade  
🗑
Quinidine - Toxicity   QT interval prolongation; torsade de points; slowed conduction  
🗑
Procainamide - MOA   Slows upstroke AP & conduction; prolongs QRS duration via blockage of Na+ Channels; AP prolongation via K+ Channel blockade; not as effective against ectopic pacemakers (quinidine does); effective in depolarized cells  
🗑
Procainamide - Toxicity   Excessive AP & QT interval prolongation; torsades de pointes; syncope; slow conduction; lupus-like syndrome (arthralgia/arthritis); increased antinuclear antibody  
🗑
Disopyramide - MOA   Same as quinidine with more antimuscrainic effects; used for superventricular arrhythmias  
🗑
Disopyramide - Toxicity   Can precipitate de novo heart failure or can cause heart failure in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy; not a first-line drug in the US  
🗑
Amiodarone - MOA   Prolongation of AP (QT interval) via blockage of IKR (Chronic use --> IKS; blocks inactivated sodium channels; low incidence of trosades de pointes  
🗑
Amiodarone - Toxicity   Symptomatic bradycardia and heart block; tissue accumulation; photodermatitis (blue-gray spots/UV exposure); thyroid issues;  
🗑
Class IB   Lidocaine, Mexiletine, Tocainide  
🗑
Lidocaine - MAO   blocks activated & inactivated (ensures greater effect on cells with long APs (Purkinje, ventricular) Na+ Channels; IV/IM routes;  
🗑
Lidocaine - Toxicity   One of the least cardiotoxic; Large doses + preexisting conditions = hypotension due to decreased contractility; neurologic effects: paresthesias, hearing disturbed, etc; all short-lived  
🗑
Mexiletine - MAO   Orally active congener of lidocaine; Tx of ventricular arrhythmias; same actions as lidocaine  
🗑
Mexilitine - Toxicity   Tremor; blurred vision; lethargy (CNS issues  
🗑
Phenytoin - MAO   Usually used for epilepsy; similar to lidocaine and mexiletine;  
🗑
Phenytoin - Toxicity   Gingival hyperplasia  
🗑
Class IC   Flecanide, Propafenone, Encanide  
🗑
Flecanide - MAO   Potent Na+ and K+ Channel blocker; NO QT INTERVAL PROLONGATION!!!; No antimuscarinic effects; used for supraventricular contractions and PVCs; eliminated by the kidney and liver  
🗑
Flecanide - Toxicity   May cause severe exacerbation of arrhythmia when patient has preexisting ventricular arrhythmias; CAST showed 2.5 increased in premature death  
🗑
Propafenone - MAO   Similar effects to the of propanolol; weak beta-blocking activity; Most similar to quinidine, except there's no AP prolongation; metabolized in the liver; used for SVAs  
🗑
Propafenone - Toxicity    
🗑
