exam 2: lecture 4 Flashcards
Explain the cardiac AP .
phase 0 - NA channel open up, goes into and starts depolarizing the cell
phase 1 = K channels open up and goes out of the cell starts repolarizaing
phase 2: pleatue phase. L TYPE. Ca channels open and goes inside the cell
phase 3: Ca channels close and K remain open
phase 4 = goes back to resting potential and restarts at -65mV
what is the diff between enhanced automaticity and triggers automatciity?
enhanced auto = is when there is increased rate of spontaouse discharge starting at the SA node
triggered auto = electrocyte distubrances, early depolarization or delayed depolarization
what are the four classes Myles Von William made?
Class 1 - Na blocker
2- BB
3 - K blockers
4 - CCB
what are the drugs part to Na channel blockers?
Class 1A: (PQN) procainamide, quininide, disopyramide
Class 1B: lidocaine, mexliletide
Class 1C; flecanide
how did sodium channel blokcers come about?
it all started with cocaine. Cocaine blocks sodium channels in the neurons. cocaine were used as anestheics but was too strong.
it was changed to procaine then to lidociane which had better success
what is the MOA, indication and S/E for procainamide?
given PO IV IM
MOA: blocks NA channel in the cardiac myocyte = depressing effect of SA/AV node
- prolongs AP and RP
- blocks some K channels
- prolongs QRS and QT intervals
indication: 2-3rd agent for MI induced arrthymias
S/E: excesive slowing of Heart, prolong QT so torsade, fainting and lupus like syndrome if given PO
what are quinidine and disopyramide?
they are part of CLASS 1A drugs,
quinidine = similiar to procainamide but is anti malaria. it has anti muscarinic effect (dry mouth, consitpation, urinary retention)
dispyramide = similiar to procainamide but even way worse
what are the class 1B drugs ?
lidocaine
mexiletine
what is the MOA, indication, S/E for lidocaine?
MOA:
1. blocks NA channels in both active and inacttive channels
2. bascially just takes neruon out of commison
3. shorterns AP and shortens RP
4. WORKS BEST W ISCHEMIC HEART AND FAST HR
indication: MI with induced arrthymias, Vtach/Vfib, CV
S/E - THE LEAST CARDIOTOXICITY
- AMS, parethesia, psychosis, euphoria , stupor
what is mexiletine?
part of the class 1B Na blocker drugs
it is similiar to lidocaine but given PO
good for long term tx and for chronic pain syndrome
what is flecainide? MOA/indication?
part of class 1C of NA blocker
it works w NORMAL tissue w NORMAL HR
MOA: blocks NA channels and some K channels, decreases slope of phase 0, NO CHANGES TO AP OR RP, prolong QRS
indication: supraventricualr arrhythmias, PVC
what is BB MOA?
B1 normally casues influx of CA and NA which leads to + chronotropic and inotropic effect
but BB will block this and decrease CA influx so decrease contract
BEST for ishemica heart bc it lowers demand for O2 and work
IT SLOWS AV CONDUCTION
what are the BB drugs in CLASS 2?
propranolol - 1st gen drug, if given in high dose can mimik class 1 drugs - block NA
sotalol - verstailie drug, to go BB
metoprolol - 2nd gen drug
esmolol - short half life 8 mins
what is the indication of BB?
sinus tachy
Afib/aflutter
ventricular tachy
long QT syndrome
re entry circut
what are the class 3 drugs?
K blocker drugs
- K-ADDI-
amiodarone
dronedarone
dofetilide
ibutilde
