Antiarrhythmic Drugs

Stack #28608

QuestionAnswer
Class 1a quinidine, procainamide, disopyramide
Class 1a Benefit Increase duration of Action Potential and intermediate onset and off set
Class 1a SE Muscaranic antagonism (block Para), Ca blockade, adrenoceptor blockade
Quinidine class Ia
Procainamide class Ia
disopyramide class Ia
Quinidine SE cardiotoxicity, atrial Fib, ventricular Tach, syncope, SA block, AV block, increase vasodialation
Procainamide SE Cardiotoxic, No Atrial Fib, or Vent Tach, but induce SEL, arthraliga, arthritis, limits long term use
disopyramide SE Negative inotropic, cardiotoxic
disopyramide Contra HF
Class Ib MOA decrease duration, rapid onset and offset
Class Ib Agents Lidocaine, mexilitine
Class 1a MOA Na & K channel block,
Class Ib MOA Block activated & inactivated Na channels, Increase activation of K channels, decrease slope of phase 0
Lidocaine SE CNS sym-dissociation, drowness, agitation
Mexilitine SE CNS sym, dizzy, tremor, lightheaded
Class Ib interactions Hyperkalemia decreases rate of depolarization or hyperkalemia increases depressant effects
Class 1c Benefits No change in duration of action potential but a slow onset and off set.
Class Ic Agents flecainide, profenone
Most potent antidysrhythmics Class Ic
Class Ic SE Prodysrhythmics (esp vent tach)
Class 1c contra Benign or potentially malignant vertricular dysrhythmias
Flecainide SE visual distrubances(10-15%)
Propafenone SE Granulocytopenia, SLE like syndrome
Antirrhythmic Drugs MOA Depolarize cells more affected than polarized cells, Decrease conduction and excitibility in tissues, and prevent re-entrants
Propranolol K channel activation of purkinje fibers
Propranolol membrane stabalizing
esmolol cardiac depression, non-selective (watch asthmatics)sudden withdraw dysrrhythmias
propranolol, esmolol b adrenoceptor antagonist- decrease slope phase 4
propranolol, esmolol increase ERP, decrease autmatocity of purkinji fibers, decrease afterdepolarizations
amidarone SE pulmonary fibrosis, prodysrrhythmic, photo dermititis, corneal deposits
Sotolol SE prodysrrhythmic, less effective with increasing rate
Bretylium SE prodysrrhythmic, less effective with increasing rate
Verapamil, Diltilazem, Bepridil SE hypotension, cardiac depression, sinus arrest, AV block, torsades de point
Adenosine SE flushing, SOB
Adenosine contra dipyramole, theophylline
Digoxin-SE Dysrrhythmias
Digoxin- Interactions Amidarone, proferenone, verapamil, bepridil, dilitizem
Ibutilide class III
Amidarone non-competitive B antagonist and in all groups
Sotolol competitive b antagonist
bretylium adrenergic neuron blocking drug
Bretylium SE orthostatic hypotension
Block AP in pacemakers Class IV
Adenosine half life 6 seconds
adenosine induces cardiac effects via A1 and A2 vasodialitation
adenosine location Acts in SA and AV nodal cells to promote K activation decrease phase 4
Digoxin location Increase Parasympathic and increase K channel activation in SA and AV nodes decrease phase 4
MgSo4 modulates Ca currents into cell and decrease overloading of Ca great for torsades de point

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.
