26
Q

A non-selective ?-blocker that prolongs APD; exhibiting class III action; increases ERP

A

Sotalol

27
Q

Drugs contraindicated in asthma and COPD?

A

Non-selective beta blockers; Bronchoconstriction occurs because sympathetic nerves innervating the bronchioles normally activate ?2-adrenoceptors that promote bronchodilation

28
Q

Why should beta-blockers be used cautiously in diabetics?

A

Beta-blockers can also mask the tachycardia that serves as a warning sign for insulin-induced hypoglycemia in diabetic patients

29
Q

Beta-blocker cardiac effect; contractility increase or decrease?

A

Decrease contractility; negative inotropy

30
Q

Beta-blocker cardiac effect; heart rate increase or decrease?

A

Decrease

31
Q

Beta-blocker cardiac effect; conduction velocity increase or decrease?

A

Decrease

32
Q

Beta-blocker cardiac effect; diastolic coronary perfusion time increase or decrease?

A

Increase

33
Q

Beta-blocker cardiac effect; diastolic ventricular filling time increase or decrease?

A

Increase

34
Q

Beta-blocker vascular effect; smooth muscle contraction or relaxation?

A

contraction; mild vasoconstriction

35
Q

Acebutolol B1 selective or non-selective?

A

?1-selective

36
Q

Carvedilol B1 selective or non-selective?

A

Non-selective

37
Q

Betaxolol B1 selective or non-selective?

A

A

Non-selective

49
Q

Timolol B1 selective or non-selective?

A

Non-selective

50
Q

Potassium Channel blockers MOA?

A

blocks K+ channels (or enhances inward current of Na+ channels); prolongs duration of the AP; increases refractoriness (prolonged ERP)

51
Q

Amiodarone class?

A

Class III K channel blockers

52
Q

Bretylium class?

A

Class III K channel blockers

53
Q

D-sotalol?

A

Class III K channel blockers

54
Q

Calcium channel blockers MOA?

A

Predominantly blocks calcium entry in slow response cells like SA and AV node; causes a slow rise in action potential and prolonged repolarization at the AV node

55
Q

Type of Ca channel blockers that block tachycardias in Ca2+-dependent cells (eg SA; AV node) more selective for heart muscle: DHP or Non-DHP?

A

Non-DHP

56
Q

A

DHP

58
Q

Examples of dihyropyridines?

A

Nifedipine; Amlodipine; Felodipine

59

A

Vasodilator

60

A

both

61
Q

A

cardiac depressant

62

anti-platelets

63
