Anti-Arrythmics Flashcards
Sodium Channel Blockers
- Procainamide
- Quinidine
- Lidocaine
Procainamide & Quinidine MOA
- decreases conduction velocity
- **prolongs repolarization & refractory period
- prolongs action potentital
Procainamide & Quinidine Indications
Atrial & Ventricular arrythmias
- VT
- SVT
Lidocaine MOA
- decreases conduction velocity
- **shortens repolarization
Lidocaine Indications
-Stable VT
Lidocaine CI
Narrow complex SVT
Potassium Channel Blockers
Amiodarone
Amiodarone MOA
Blocks K efflux (QT prolongation) = ***prolonging action potential & refractory period
Amiodarone Indications
Atrial & Ventricular arrythmias
-Refractory SVT
Amiodarone SEs
-*hypotension (MC)
-pulmonary fibrosis
-thyroid D/O
(contains iodine)
CCB (non-dihydropyridine)
- Verpamil
- Diltiazem
CCB (non-dihydropyridine) MOA
Slow SA node and AV node conduction (calceium-mediated)
CCB (non-dihydropyridine) Indications
- a. flutter
- a. fib
- PSVT
Adenosine MOA
Temporarily decreases SA node automaticity & blocks AV node conduction pathways
-(1/2 life ~10 seconds = administer rapid bolus)
Adenosine Indications
- *1st line SVT
* *1st line for narrow, REGULAR complex tachycardia
