Q

What is the effect of amiodarone?

A
  • Prolongs Phase 3 repolarisation
  • Increases ERP & APD

amiodarone is a K-channel blocker

17
Q

What class of anti-arrhythmic do verapamil & diltiazem belong to?

A

Class 4; non-DHP calcium channel blockers

18
Q

What channel do class 3 anti-arrhythmics block?

A

Potassium channels

19
Q

What class of anti-arrhythmics is amiodarone?

A

Class 3; potassium channel blockers

Indication: AF
A/E: Bradycardia, Heart Blocker

20
Q

What is the effect of verapamil & diltiazem?

A
  • Prolong Phase 4 depolarisation
  • Reduces conductivity on AV node
  • Increases ERP & APD
21
Q

Why are non-DHP calcium channel blockers preferentially used over DHPs?

A

non-DHPs target the calcium channels on AV nodes while DHPs target the channels on smooth muscles

22
Q

Which drug is indicated in emergency supraventricular tachycardia?

A

Adenosine; rapid onset

23
Q

Adenosine suppresses ________ and increases the ______________

A

Adenosine suppresses AV nodal conduction and increases the AV nodal refractory period
