A

rare increase in LFTs, diarrhea

32
Q

fibrate effects

A

large reduction in TGs

33
Q

fibrate MOA

A

upregulate LPL, clearing TGs

34
Q

firate side effects

A

myositis, hepatotox, cholesterol gallstones

35
Q

MOA of digoxin

A

direct inhibition of Na/K ATPase leading to direct inhibition of Na/Ca exchangers. increase in intracelluar Ca –> increase contractability.

Also stimulates Vagus nerve to slow HR

36

use of digoxin

A

CHF, Afib (slow conduction at AV and depression of SA)

37
Q

tox of digoxin

A

cholinergic (N/V, diarrha, blurry yellow vision)

increasedPR, lower QT, T wave inversion,a rrythmia - AV block

38
Q

poor prognostic indicator in digoxin tox

A

hypokalemia

39
Q

antidote for dig tox

A

normallize K+, lidocaine, anti-digoxin fab fragments, Mg2+

40
Q

effect of Na+ channel blocker antiarrythmics (Class I)

54
Q

people NOT to use class IC antiarrythmics with

A

post-MI, structural heart disease

55

57
Q

antiarrythmic beta blockers MOA

A

decreases SA and AV nodal activity by deceraseing cAMP and lowering Ca currents

short acting antiarrythmic beta blocker

59
Q

use of antiarrythmic beta blockers

A

Vtach, SVT, slowing ventricular rate during afib and a flutter

60
Q

tox of antiarrythmic beta blockers

A

impotence, worse asthma, bradycardia, CHF, sedation, may mask hypoglycemia

61
Q

side effect of metoprolol

A

dyslipidemia (treat OD with glucogon)

62
Q

can exacerbate vasospasm in prinzmetal’s

amidorone, ibutilide, dofeilite, soralol

64
Q

effect of Class III antiarythmics

A

increase AP duration, used when other antiarrythmics fail, increase QT interval

65
