Question
Answer
Cardiac action potential   initiated in SA node-atria depolarizes-AV node slows down the potential so the ventricle can fill-His Purkinje system-races down to apex of heart then comes back up through ventricles (contract bottom up)  
🗑
what happens in depolarization?   sodium influx chemically and electrically from high to low concentration, inside of cell is negative and Na is positive  
🗑
Phase of depolarization in fast ap?   phase 0  
🗑
What happens in phase 1 of fast ap?   Ca comes into cell when potential reaches +55mV  
🗑
What happens in phase 2 of fast ap?    
🗑
What happens in phase 3 of fast ap?    
🗑
What happens in phase 4 of fast ap?   Diastole; heart is filling  
🗑
Na/K ATPase function and phase?    
🗑
Drugs that block fast sodium channels?   local anesthetics; too much will decrease conduction velocity (slope of phase 0) so much they will stop the heart  
🗑
Drugs that block potassium channels?    
🗑
Slope of phase 0 is directly proportional to...   conduction velocity....affected by Na channel blockers; otherwise known as speed of depolarization  
🗑
Effects of blocking K channels   increase duration of action potential; slows down heart rate; increases refractory period; takes longer to get potassium out and get back to phase 4  
🗑
Where is the slow potential?   SA and AV nodes  
🗑
What phase does slow potential not have?   Phase 1  
🗑
What happens in phase 0 of slow ap?    
🗑
What happens in phase 2 of slow ap?    
🗑
What happens in phase 3 of slow ap?    
🗑
What happens in phase 4 of slow ap?    
🗑
What happens in phase 0 of fast ap?    
🗑
What happens if you block calcium channels?    
🗑
What affect do b1 receptors have on action potential?    
🗑
PR interval   Time to go from SA to AV; mostly AV time  
🗑
QRS interval   Tells us conduction velocity through ventricles; tells his purk or vent conduction problem  
🗑
QT interval   Ventricular repolarization; prolonged tells us there is a potassium uptake or blocking issue  
🗑
Torsades    
🗑
Wide QRS =   slow ventricular conduction and slowed fast action potential  
🗑
Prolonged PR from which drugs?    
🗑
Adverse affect of local anesthetic   widened QRS  
🗑
Ectopic pacemakers   Pacemaker that starts up anywhere in the heart other than the SA node  
🗑
Name arrythmias based on...   speed, location,  
🗑
Class 1A action and drugs   moderate affect phase 0; quinidine, procainamide  
🗑
Class 1B action and drugs   No change to phase 0; lidocaine  
🗑
Class 1C action and drugs   Marked phase 0 change;  
🗑
Class II action and drugs    
🗑
Class III action and drugs    
🗑
Class IV action and drugs    
🗑
Frequency dependence =    
🗑
Explain the h gate    
🗑
Explain refractory period    
🗑
Quinidine   Class 1A local anesthetic  
🗑
Procainamide   Class 1A local anesthetic, increase phase 0 and action potential duration; can produce torsades  
🗑
Lidocaine   Class 1B; only for Vtachs and only IV  
🗑
Mexiletine   Class 1B oral version of lidocaine  
🗑
Flecainide   Class 1C; used for Vtachs in adults; kids SVTs and atrial tachs; increases QT and causes torsades  
🗑
CAST trial   showed adverse affects from long term local anesthetic use  
🗑
Affects of beta blockers on heart rhythm   decrease sinus tach; block junctional arrythmias in and around the AV node; protect the ventricle in an atrial tach by slowing conduction in AV node  
🗑
Propranolol    
🗑
Atenolol    
🗑
Timolol    
🗑
Esmolol    
🗑
Drugs that slow AV conduction are...   additive in their affects  
🗑
Amiodarone   Na, K, Ca, and B blocker; 3 1/2 month half life  
🗑
Sotalol   K and B blocker  
🗑
Dronedarone   Amiodarone with shorter half life; iodine removed so half life is 24 hours; contraindicated in heart failure; produces more torsades than amiodarone  
🗑
Dofetilide   inward rectifying potassium channel blockers; truly cardioselective; only for atrial tachs; 6% torsades occurence; maintains SR  
🗑
Ibutilide   Class III  
🗑
Verapamil    
🗑
Diltiazem    
🗑
Adenosine    
🗑
Atropine    
🗑
Magnesium    
🗑
Digitalis    
🗑
what is a cardiac arrhythmia?   variation in the way the action potential is formed and/or the way the action potential is propagated across the heart  
🗑
Which parts of the heart do not have a fast cardiac ap?   SA and AV nodes  
🗑
3 effects of local anesthetics (Na channel blockers) on fast cardiac action potential   decrease conduction velocity, increase refractory period, and increase threshold  
🗑
