Exam #2 (Pharmacology) Flashcards
Use Dependence
drug binds in the open/inactive state (0/3)
-better effect at higher HR
Reverse Use Dependence
drug binds better to resting state (4)
-better effect at lower HR
Class I
Class II
Class III
Class IV
Class I: Na+ channel blocker
Class II: Beta blocker
Class III: K+ channel blocker
Class IV: Ca2+ channel blocker
EKG result
Na+ blocker
K+ blocker
Na+ Blocker = wider QRS
K+ Blocker = inc QT interval
Procainamide adverse effect
Drug induced Lupus Syndrome
Quinidine adverse effect
Cinchonism (headache, tinnitus, dizziness)
Class IA Antiarrhythmic indication
short term atrial and ventricular arrhythmic treatment
Class IB Antiarrhythmic indications
POST-MI ventricular arrhythmia
prevention of ventricular fibrillation
(ventricular only)
lidocaine vs mexiletile therapeutic index
Lidocaine: Wide therapeutic index
Mexiletine: Narrow therapeutic index
Class IC Antiarrhythmic indication
supraventricular arrhythmia and atrial fibrillation
Flecainide vs Propafenone blockage
Flecainide: inhibits Na+ and K+ channelsPropafenone: only inhibits Na+ channels
Amiodarone indication
severe ventricular arrhythmia
Amiodarone adverse effects
- hypothyroidism but also hyperthyroidism
- Bradycardia/Heart blocker
- Hepatotoxicity
- Photodermatitis (blue skin)
- Pulmonary fibrosis
Amiodarone half life
58 days (stays in lipid rich tissue)
Dronedarone indication
atrial fibrillation
Sotalol blockage
K+ and beta blocker
1 for persistent atrial fibrillation
Dofetilide
1 for chemical conversion of atrial flutter
Ibutilide
REVERSE USE DEPENDENCE
Sotalol
-olol
Beta blockers
beta blocker adverse effects
- Bronchoconstriction -> fatigue
- Vasoconstriction -> sexual disfunction, dizziness (inhibits vasodilation)
- Decrease CO -> arrhythmias up abrupt withdrawal, bradycardia
B-adrenergic Receptor Antagonist causes
Prolongs heart rate, AV conduction, and contractility
beta blocker w most B1 selectivity
Metoprolol
what to give for Acute arrhythmia that occurs during surgery
Esmolol
