Drug Classifications Flashcards
Why is drug classification important to radiographers?
Because of the drug interaction such as contract monitoring the drug respond and allergy with enhancing the diagnostic accuracy by measuring heartbeat if it’s increasing or not
Drugs that affect the electrical conduction system of the myocardium
Anti-arrhythmic/anti-dies rhythmic
Irregular heartbeat
Arrhythmia
Faster than normal heartbeat is called
Tachycardia or tachy arrhythmias
Slower than normal heartbeat
Bradycardia or Brady arrhythmia
Reduction of HR <60 BPM
Brady cardia
electrical stimulates is generated every
60 to 100 per minute
Area of heart that is near the superior vena cava and initiate conductivity or heartbeat determine the heart rate and action potential
Sinoatrial node
Another name for pacemaker
Sinoatrial node
Act as an electrical gate that stopped the blood until the blood is ejected from the ventricle
Atrium ventricular Velva
Move to Apex of heart after conducting pulse
Right branch and left branch of atrioventricular bundle
Bottom tip of heart where purkinjie Viber takes signal and spread toward the ventricle
Apex
Distribute electric helpers through ventricular myocardium
Purkinje fibre
How many phase in action potential of cardiac muscles
4
Rapid sequence voltage change across the membrane or ion exchange across cell membrane
Action potential
A.k.a. resting phase
Depolarisation
When sodium ions enter the cell
Depolarisation
Potassium ion move from intracellular to extra cellular
Initial repolarisation
Balance stage
Plateau
Drug act in different phase
True
Quinidine, procainamide are considered …… channel blockers?
Sodium channel blockers moderate
Lidocaine,phenytoin are considered weak class one drugs
True
Propafenone,flecainide are considered strong class one drugs
True
Example of a class 4 drug
Verapamil ,diltazem
Class 3 drugs are
Potassium channel blockers such as Amiodarone and Sotalol
Example of B blocker
Propranolol
Matoprolol
Esmolol
Metaprolol
Propranolol

Are class…
2 beta blockers
Skin rush and thrombocytopenia are side effect of
Anti-arrhythmic drug
Systolic normal blood values is
120mmHg
When exercising…… can happen happen
Prehypertensive
139 blood pressure is considered
Pre-hypertensive
Following the disease or the use of certain drugs can cause
Secondary hypertension
