A

Potassium channel blockers

22
Q

Class 3 - specific MoA

A

incr refractory, APD, threshold
decr. phase 0, phase 4, speed of AV conduction

Incr. PR, QRS, QT,
Decr HR

23

pulmonary fibrosis
hepatic injury
increase LDL cholesterol

convert supraventricular tachy
DAD derived ventricular tachycardia

33
Q

Calcium channel blockers

A

Partial AV block caution
Beta blocker on board can lead to asystole
