| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| class 1a | disopyramide; procainamide; quinidine |
| class 1b | lidocaine; tocainide |
| class 1c | tambocor |
| class II | atenolol; metoprolol; propranolol |
| class III | bretylium; ibutulide |
| class IV | diltiazem; verapamil |
| unclassified | adenosine |
| class 1a | exert action on sodium channels by blocking them; slow repolarization and increase APD |
| class 1b | exert action on sodium channels by blocking them; accelerate repolarization and decrease APD |
| class 1c | exert action on sodium channels by blocking them; little effect on APD |
| class II | beta-blockers. reduce sympathetic nervous system stimulation to heart and thus slow transmission through conduction system; decrease oxygen needed by heart |
| class III | increase APD prolonging repolarization in phase 3; block potassium channels |
| class IV | CCBs. inhibit slow-channel pathways that are calcium dependent |
| unclassified | slows conduction time through AV node; stops the heart |
