Question
Answer
show NaB the Long Cab: I=Na blockers, II=Beta blockers, III=Long refractory period and QT interval - K+ block, IV=Ca2+ channel blockers  
🗑
show Local antesthetics. Slow or block conduction (especially in depolarized cells). Decrease the slope of phase 4 depolarization and increase threshold for firing in abnormal pacemaker cells.  
🗑
Drugs of Class IA   show
🗑
show Slow phase 0. Affect whole heart. Increase AP duration, Increase effective refractory period (ERP), and increase QT interval.  
🗑
Indications for Class IA   show
🗑
show Quinidine  
🗑
show Headache, tinnitus and dizziness  
🗑
What drug reduces the renal elimination of digoxin?   show
🗑
N-acetylprocainamide is an active metabolite   show
🗑
Can cause a reversible SLE-like syndrome   show
🗑
SE common to all Class IA   show
🗑
show Mexiletine, Lidocaine, Tocainide (Mitra Loves Tom)  
🗑
show Shorten phase 3, Affect ventricles. Unlike class 1A - these decrease AP duration (and thus ERP). Affect ischemic or depolarized Purkinje and ventricular tissue.  
🗑
General use of Class IB   show
🗑
General side effects of Class IB   show
🗑
show Flecainide, encainide, propafenone (Follwing Eating Poop)  
🗑
show Markedly slow phase 0 (as all class 1 antiarrhythmics do). Affects atria. Has NO effect on AP duration  
🗑
General use of Class IC   show
🗑
show Proarrhythmic - especially post-MI (contraindicated). Significantly prolongs refractory period in AV node  
🗑
show Class IA antiarrhythmics  
🗑
Useful in acute ventricular arrhythmias (especially post MI) and in digitalis-induced arrhythmias   show
🗑
show Class IC antiarrhythmics  
🗑
show Class IA = Increase AP duration. Class IB = Decrease AP duration, Class IC = don't effect AP duration  
🗑
Area of heart affected by Class I antiarrhythmics   show
🗑
Class II antiarrhythmics   show
🗑
General actions of Class II   show
🗑
Indications for Class II   show
🗑
Side efx of Beta-blockers   show
🗑
CI of Beta blockers   show
🗑
show "A Bodygouar is Strong" (Amiodarone, Bretylium, Ibutilide, Sotalol)  
🗑
General action of Class III   show
🗑
SE: Torsades des pointes, excessive B-block   show
🗑
show All can cause torsades des pointes (b/c inc QT interval)  
🗑
show Pulmonary fibrosis, hepatotoxicity, Hypo/Hyperthyroidism. Amiodarone inhibits CYP3A4 (so don't use w/warfarin)  
🗑
show Calcium channel blockers  
🗑
General mech of Class IV   show
🗑
show Flushing, Constipation, Edema. Can also cause heart block, or torsades de pointes.  
🗑
show Adenosine  
🗑
show K+  
🗑
Effective in torsades de pointes and digoxin toxicity   show
🗑
