Sotalol

A

Non-selective BB (Class II anti-a)

But also acts as a Class III anti-a as it inhibits the influx of K+ during the Phase 3 repolarisation. Thus increases refractory perior in all cardiac tissues

Q

Action of Class I

A

Slow depolarisation (phase 0) by blocking fast Na+ channels. This slows depolarisation, thus slowing rate of contractions. Thus can help to prevent arrhythmias. Lognocaine has rapid dissociation time, and binds to both open and closed channels, thus it has the lowest pro-arrhythmic affect because by dissociating quickly, it effecitvely differentiates between normal and abnormal cardiac cells: normal cells will not be slowed by lignocaine, only abnormally behaving cells.

107
Q

What to BBs do?

A

Antagonise SNS activity by binding to B1 and B2 receptors. B1 antagonists - block NA/A from binding, causing cardiac muscle relaxation. B2 antagonists - block NA/A from binding, thus contract smooth muscle.
There are non-selectives and B1 selectives. All non selectives at high enough concentrations. Negative inotrope and neg chronotrope as mainly act by inhibiting Ca+ entry into the cell. Thus good for HTN, angina….
