17
Q

types of arrhythmias

A

bradyarrhythmia (< 60)

tachyarrhythmia (>100)

18
Q

types of tachyarrhythmias (3)

A

enhanced automaticity
reentry
triggered activity

19
Q

type of arrhythmia that ocurres when the cell membrane becomes more permeable to sodium during phase 4 depolarization, this calls cells to acelerate their automaticity and generate faster impulses than the SA node.

A

enhanced automaticity

20
Q

Common automaticity stimulants that can cause enhanced automaticity

A

excess catecholamines
hypoxia
acidosis
isquemic

21
Q

type of arrhythmia that when the accessory pathway appears, the signal travels through the pathway from ventricles to atria causing them to contract before the SA node fires again, this creates an abnormal loop of electrical activation circulation through a region of heart causing tachyarrithmya

A

reentry

22
Q

type of arrhythmia that involves abnormal leakage of positive ions into the cardiac cell leading to this bump on the action potential after the polarization

A

triggered activity

23
Q

types of triggered activity

A

EADs (early afterepolarization)

DADs (delayed afterepolarization)

24
Q

triggered potential that triggers during prolonged action potentials mainly phase 2

A

EADs

25
Q

Are triggered after the action potential is fully repolarized.

A

DADs

26
Q

Class of anti arrhythmic drugs that primarily block the rapid inward sodium current, thereby slowing the rate of the rise of the action potential.

A

Class I

27
Q

Class 1A anti arrhythmic drugs

A

Quinidine
Procainamid

28
Q

Class 1B anti arrhythmic drugs

29
Q

Class 1C anti arrhythmic drugs

A

Morcicine
Flecainide

30
Q

Class of anti arrhythmic drugs that are b-adrenergic antagonists, which slow the sinus rhythm and slow atrioventricular nodal conduction without substantially changing the Q-T or QRS interval

Esmolol

32
Q

Class III anti arrhythmic drugs

A

Sotalol
Amiodarone
Dofeltide

33
Q

Class of anti arrhythmic drugs that block the outward potassium current, thus lengthening repolarization and refractoriness

A

Class III

34
Q

Class of anti arrhythmic drugs that are primarily calcium channel–blocking agents, which block the slow, inward calcium current and thereby prolong the P-R interval without changing the QRS or Q-T interval.

A

Class IV

35
Q

Diltiazem

Verapamil
