Antiarrthmitic Flashcards
Lignocaine
action 15 m inactive orally Na blockers effective for V tacky arrhythmia inhibith purkinji
Class 1 Agents
1A : Double quarter pounder Quaindine,procainamide, Disopyramide 1B : Lignocaine,phenytoin 1C: flecainide
Esmolol
short acting
use foe arrhythmia after anasthesia
class 2 B blocker
MOA : reduce Adrenaline + NA
Decrease sinus node automaticity
uses:
AF
post MI
Class 3 (SAB)
ex: sotalol,Amiodatone,Bretylium
Prolong AP by Block eflux K
prolong refractory period (increased QT interval)
Amiodarone
class 3 used for supraventricular and ventricular tachycardia
Bretlium
Class 3
Adrenergic neuron blocker
Class 3 AE
thyroid dysfunction pneumonia liver toxicity skin discoloration Irregular a QRS complex is which appear to be twisting around the ECG baseline
Class 4
MOA : Block slow Ca entry responsible for conduction Knodell tissue
Suppress normal and abnormal automaticity
ex: verapamil,dilitazam
veramil
used :
orally for A trail fibrillation + to prevent recurrence of paroxysmal supraventricle tachycardia
adenosine
IV , short 20 s
proper conversion of Supraventricular tachycardia to sinus rhythm
MOA
reduce Ca in AV node
AE chest tightness Dispnea hypotension, flushing
Digoxine
Block AV conduction
slow ventricle rate in atrial fibrillation
use:
treatment of low output heart failure in patients who are symptomatic despite optimal use of diuretic ACE inhibitors and beta-blockers
MOA:
to slow V rate in AF :
stimulate vagus nerve with consequent reduced AV conduction
therapy slow ventricle rate
