Drugs Used In Cardiac Arrythmia Flashcards
The normal RMP of ventricles
is about –85 to –95 mV
The membrane is most permeable to
K+
The main cation that
determines the RMP of cardiac cell
K+
No of phases in action potential of vent fibre
5
Rmp is in
Phase 4
Phase 4 assted with
Diastole
Phase 0 aka
Rapid depolarization phase
Vmax
Max depol rate during phase 1
Phase 0 due to
Opening of na channels
Forms of na channel
Open closed inactivated
Pattern of na channel
Activated inactivated closed
If the
membrane potential is at its baseline (about -85 mV) channels will be
Closed
If memb pot is less neg
Then only few channel will open may lead to arrhythmia due to lower vmax
If resting mp becomes too positive
It may lead to arrythmia
Phase 1 due to
Inactivation of na channel , downward def due to k and cl channels
Phase 2
Pla2
Phase 2 due to
Inward movement of ca through l type and outward movement of k through slow delayed rectifiers
Phase 3 due to
K+ channel cont opening
In phase 3 k+ closes at
- 80-85 mv
