Antiarrhythmic Flashcards
2nd class antiarrhythmics are
1st and 2nd gen BAB
4th class antiarrhythmic are
Verapamil and diltiazem (non dihydropiridine calcium channel blockers)
1class antiarrhythmic are
Procainamide1A,1B- lidocaine, 1C-ethacizine,propafenon, flecainid
Prcainamide has
cholinolytic activity
Ethacizine has class
4 property
Propafenon has both
Class 2 and 4 property
Flecainid has
Class 3 property
Class 3 antiarrhythmic agents are
Amiodarone, sotalol, vernakalant
Amiodarone class 3 has properties of
Class 1a,2 and 4
Sotalol class 3 has alo property of
Class 2
Vernakalant class 3 has also property of class
1b
Non classified antiarrhythmic agents are
Magnesium sulphate, Atropine, Digoxin, epinephrine
Phase 0 depolarization of SA node and AV nodeis provided by
Calcium influx
Phase 3of repolarization is provided by
K outflux
Phase 4 of slow depolarisation is provided by
Na influx through HCN channel and calcium influx
Arrythmia is defined as
Change in location of impulse origin ,change in HR and change in rhythm, conduction disturbance
Norm HR
55 to 80
Batmotropy
Ability to excite in response to stimulus
Dromotropy
Ability to conduct from one cell to other
Hemodynamics means
Providing rhythm and frequency control
Class 2 and 4 of antiarrhythmic inhibits
Phase 0 and 4 calcium influx in SA and AV
Class 3 inhibits
K outflux in phase 3 of CM
