Impluse generation of arrhythmias
(Ectopic pace makers)
Sympathomimetic influences
Hypoxia/ hypercarbia
Dig toxicity
What causes re-entry
Unidirectional block of impulse
Slow conduction via alternate pathway
Impulse fund unidirectional block conducts impulse retrograde
Where can re rentry occur?
SA node (sa nodal re entry)
Atrium (a tachy or a flutter)
AV node (av node re entry and accessory pathways)
Ventricle (VT)
Na channel blockers are blocked for ___
Atria and ventricles
CA channels blockers are blocked for ___
SA/AV nodes
Classes of antiarrhythmics, phase they effect
1a- Na blockers (slow 0, prolongs 3)
1b- Na (slow 0, shortens 3)
1c- Na (very slow 0, no change to 3)
2- BB (reduces slope of 4)
3- K blockers (prolongs 3)
4- CA channel blockers (reduces slope of 4)
