lecture 12 pharmacology unfinished Flashcards
two types of cell in the heart
myocytes
pacemakers
SAN where
junction between the superior vena cava and the right atrium
where is the AVN
base of the atrial septum
bundle of his where
interventricular septum
what does the bundle of his separate into
right and left purkinje fibers
fastest conduction and why
bundle and purkinje
so the ventricle contracts as one
what is complete heart block
electrical impulses cant cross annulus fibrosus
APR
absolute refractory period
RPR
relative refractory period
what is the resting membrane potential
neg
why is resting potential neg
potassium freely moves out
negative impermeable ions in the cell
what causes depolarisation
calcium influx
P wave
spread of excitation through atria
P-R
atria contract
AVN blocks
1st
2nd (mobitz 1 and 2)
complete
tachycardias
SVT
VT
mobitz type 2
QRS dosent follow P
why are we worried about mobitz type 2
has the potential to develop into CHB
what sign would there be with CBH
either no radial or very slow
cause of CHB
ischemia
what would you give someone with CBH
beta 1 agonist: adrenaline/isoprnaline
what does BBB show as
widened QRS
difference between AF and atrial flutter
flutter dosent resolve the steady line
Torsades de pointes
this is VT
causes of Torsades de pointes
heart block
hypokalemia/hypomagnesemia
drugs (tricyclic antidepressant overdose)
congenital long QT syndrome
management of arrhythmias non pharma
vagotonic manouvres
other management of arhhythmias
DC cradioversion
pacemaker
surgery/ablation
drugs
what is atropine
anticholinergic agent
what would you use to treat bradycardia
atropine
what would you use to treat bradycardia with spinal injury
theophylline
phase 0
depolarisation of the mebrane
influx of sodium
which drugs affect phase 0
class 1 - prolong depolarisation
phase 1
short period of repolarisation
outflow of potassium
phase 2
inward movement of calcium
