Ethacizine
Class4 property
Propafenon
Class2and4property
Flecainid
Class 3property
2nd class antiarrhythmic
BAB
3rd class antiarrhythmic
Amiodarone,sotalol,vernakalant
Amiodarone has
1a,2 and4 property
Sotalol(3) also has property of
Class 2
Vernakalant also has property to
1b
Class 4 antiarrhythmic
Verapamil and diltiazem
Non classified antiarrhythmic
Magnesium sulphate, Atropine,Digoxin, Epinephrine (MADE)
Phase 0 of SAN and AVN is provided by
Depolarisation -calcium flux
Phase 3 of SAN and AVN is provided by
Repolarization (K flux)
Phase 4 of SAN and AVN is provided by
Both calcium and Na flux(slow diastolic depolarization)
Phase 0 of contractile Myocardium and his- purkinje is provided by
Na flux
Phase 1 of contractile M is provided by
K flux
Phase 2of CM are provided by
Calcium flux
Phase 3 of CM and His- purkinje are provided by
K flux
Phase 4 is (CM)
Polarization or resting phase
Systole happens in
0 to 3 rd phase
Diastole happens in
Phase 4
Arrythmia are
Change in origin of rhythm, change in HR,change in regularity, disturbance in conduction of impulse
Hemodynamics
Rhythm and frequency
Class 2 and 4 acts on
Inhibits phase 0 and 4 of SA and AV phases
Class 1a inhibits phase
0 and 3 of CM
Class 1b and 1c inhibits
Phase 0 of CM
Class 3inhibits
Phase 3 of CM
Lidocaine only act against
Ventricular arrythmia
Calcium channel blockers indication
Only for supraventricular arrythmia
ECG of 1a class
QRS and QT prolongation
For 1b ecg
QT become short
1c ecg
QRS prolongation
Dissociation kinetics 1a,b,c
Medium,fast,slow
Drug affinity on na channel of 1a and c
Open is more than inactivated
Na channels are inactivated during
Phase 1,2 and3
Na channels are open in
Phase 0
Prcainamide is
Na and K channel blocker
Clinical use of prcainamide
Treatment of SVA and VA
Side effects of prcainamide
Hypotension, lupus erythematous syndrome, proarryhthmic effect,Torsades de pointes(TdP)
Because of fast dissociation kinetics of 1b
No change in QRS complex duration
Clinical use of lidocaine
VA treatment
Side effects of Lidocaine
CNS toxicity (seizures)
Lidocaine has
First pass metabolism
Class 1 c use
SVA
Side effects of class 1c
Heart failure
All class 3 ecg
Prolonged QT interwal
Amiodarone is
Na channel blockers, potassium channel blockers,beta blockers and calcium channel blockers
Amiodarone doe
1a,3,2,and4 class mechanism
In 2 and 4 class mechanism
Negative chronotropy,dromotropy and inotropy happens
Negative chronotropy
Increased RR interval
Negative dromotropy
Increased PR interval
Use of amiodarone
Both SVA and VA
Side effects of amiodarone
Hypo or hyperthyroidism,pneumofibrosis, photo toxicity, hepatotoxicity,blue skin pigmentation (smurf skin),corneal deposition, rarely Tdp
Amiodarone toxicity
Bradyarrythmia , ventricular arrythmia
Amiodarone is structural similar to
Thyroxine
Major life threatening toxicity of amiodarone
Pulmonary toxicity
Amiodarone toxicity treatment
QRS prolongation, bradyarrythmia and hypotension can be treated by sodium bicarbonate
Torsades de pointes with magnesium
Vernakalant has
Class 3 and 1 b mechanism,so prolonged QT and QRS normal ,because of fastDK
Vernakalant use
Acute Afib treatment
Side effects of vernakalant
Hypotension and bradycardia
Beta blockers and calcium channel blockers
Negative chronotropy dromotropy and inotropy
Use of BAB
Frequency control of SVA and VA treatment
Clinical use of Calcium channel blockers
Frequency control of SVA
Magnesium sulphate
Reduces calcium flow in ventricular cardiomyocyte-Tdap treatment
Atropine has
Positive chrono and dromotropy
Atropine use
Sinus bradycardia and AV block
Epinephrine has
Positive chrono,dromotropy and inotropy effect
Epinephrine is used in
CPR
Digoxin has
Positive inotropic effect,but negative dromotropy and chronotropy,so use to treat SVA
Treatment of Digoxin toxicity
Potassium, magnesium aspartate,phenytoin against ventricular tachycardia and Digoxin immune Fab antibodies
Class 1 a and 3 can cause
Prolonged QT interwal syndrome
Prolonged QT interwal syndrome can be congenital or aquired
Medication affecting hERG (K channel for repolarization)
