Anti-arrythmics Flashcards
Class 1’s
1A - Quinidine, procainemide
1B - Lidocaine
1C- Flecainide
Class 2’s
Propranolol, esmolol
Class 3’s
Amiodorone, Sotolol
Dofetalide, Ibutilide
Class 4’s
Verapamil, diltiazem
Local anesthetics - MoA
Binds to, inhibits, and releases from Na+ Channels a different rates
Class 1A (Procainamide, quinidine) - specific MoA
Intermediate binding
Drops conductivity, automaticity
Increases refractory, threshold
Increases QRS, QT
nothing to PR
Quinidine - adverse effects
anticholinergic, alpha receptor antagonist
Use with digitalis, beta block, or calcium channel block
Quinidine - spectrum
Atrial fibrillation and flutter
Procainamide - spectrum
supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias
WPW with atrial fib
Class 1A- adverse effects
hypotension, torsades de pointes (incr. QT)
Lupus like syndrome with procainamide
Class 1B (lidocaine) - specific MoA
Fast binding,
No change in phase 0
incr. threshold
decr. phase 0 conduction in fast beating heart
incr. QRS in fast beating or ischemic heart
Lidocaine - spectrum
only ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation NOT atrial
Lidocaine - adverse effects
Dizziness, drowsiness
Less QT effect
Class 1C- Flecainide and propafenone - specific MoA
Very slow binding
Subs. decr. phase 0 and automaticity
incr. APD (K+) and refractory
Incr. PR, QRS, and QT
Flecainide - spectrum
supraventriculars, PVCs, ventricular tachy, and WPW
