Q

How are Na/Ca/K channels and pacemaker current in slow response fiber affected with beta 1 receptor? what about M2?

A

Gs open Na/Ca channel and close K channel for AP/steepen pacemaker current/Gi does the opposite—>flatten the pacemaker current

Q

What do class Ia/b/c Na channel blockers block?

A

Ia—>block activated form of Na channel (both m and h gate are opened)

Q

Why do use ACEI for chronic kidney disease?

A

e.g. HTN causes kidney failure—>kill a lot of glomeruli—>the remaining glomeruli compensate and over work—>RAS is activated—>further kidney damage and more glomeruli die—>if block RAS with ACEI—>kidney function decrease but eventually plateau (prevent burnout)
