Meds that relieve chest pain: A. Nitrates B. Morphine C. Beta-blockers D. All of the above
A. Nitrates
Has side effects such as profound hypotension with rapid IV infusion; lupus-like manifestations such as rashes; arthritis; and positive serum ANA?
Procainamide
Drug of choice for prompt relief of chest pain in stable angina
isosorbide dinitrate sublingual
Which class of anti-arrhythmic? Na+ Channel Blockers
Class I
Which class of anti-arrhythmic? K+ Channel Blockers
Class III
Which class of anti-arrhythmic? ? Blockers
Class II
Which class of anti-arrhythmic? Ca2+ Channel Blockers
Class IV
Which class of Na-channel blockers? Na channel blocking moderate; effect on APD prolong
Class IA
Which class of Na-channel blockers? Na channel blocking minimal; effect on APD shorten
Class IB
Which class of Na-channel blockers? Na channel blocking marked; effect on APD no effect
Class IC
Which class? Quinide
Sub-Class IA
Which class? Procainamide
Sub-Class IA
Which class? Disopyramide
Sub-Class IA
may cause toxicity due to excessive Na+ blockade and slowed conduction showing excessive QT interval prolongation and induction of torsades de pointes; resulting in syncope
Sub-Class IA
Which class? Lidocaine
Sub-Class IB
for ventricular arrhythmias; especially those associated with myocardial infarction/ischemia
Sub-Class IB
Which class? Mexiletine
Sub-Class IB
Which class? Phenytoin
Sub-Class IB
Which class? Tocainide
Sub-Class IB
Flecainide
Sub-Class IC
Moricizine
Sub-Class IC
Propafenone
Sub-Class IC
MOA Beta-blockers?
Decrease automaticity and conduction in slow response cells like the SA node (full of Beta 1 receptor) and the AV node
Main target or use for beta blockers?
Ventricular tachycardia and supraventricular tachycardia precipitated by sympathetic stimulation
A short-acting ?-blocker used primarily for intraoperative and other acute arrhythmias?
Esmolol
