antidysrhythmias2 Flashcards
2 major mechanisms antidysrhythmics
reentry, enhanced automaticity
factors assoc with dysrhythmias
arterial hypoxia, electrolyte and acid/base balance abnormalities, myocardial ischemia, altered sympathetic activity, bradycardia, dilated cardiomyopathy, prolonged qt (acquired), r on t phenomenon
class 1 antidysrhythmics
all sodium channel blockers and decrease rate phase 0 depolarization
-all depress automaticity and decrease rate of conduction
class IA drugs
quinidine, procainamide, disopyramide
class IA speed of action
intermediated
class IA actions
depress phase 0 depolarization
prolong action potential duration
slow conduction velocity
class IB action speed
most rapid binding and dissociation
class IB drugs
lidocaine, mexiletine, phenytoin
class I B action
shorten action potential duration,
little effect phase 0 depolarization
bind in inactive state
most effective on tacy arrhythmias
class I C speed-
slowest of class I
class I C drugs
flecainide
propafenone
class I C actions
markedly decreased phase 0 depolarization
minimal effect on phase 0 depolarization
profoundly decreased conduction velocity
best on tachy arrhythmias
class II drugs
beta blockers- propanolol, esmolol
class II mech action
inhibit sympathetic activity
beta block
-decrease rate of discharge sinus and ectopic pacers and increase effective refractory period of AV node
carvedilol
class II, alpha and beta block, can also block K, CA, NA current and prolong action potential duration
