36
Q

Class III antiarrhythmics

A

K+ channel blockers - Amiodarone

37
Q

Amiodarone

Indication
What should you monitor with this drug?

A
Mostly class III, but acts as class I, class II, class IV 
Mechanism of action may be due to  
a prolongation of the myocardial cell-action potential duration and refractory period (inhibits potassium channels—class III-like)
non-competitive antagonism of α- and β-adrenoceptors (class II-like)

Reverse use-dependency: prolongation most pronounced at slow rates (undesirable), least pronounced at fast rates (desirable)
Inhibits repolarization

Useful in recurrent ventricular fibrillation and recurrent hemodynamically unstable ventricular tachycardia

Monitor - thyroid state

38
Q

Amiodarone SE, C/I, nutrient depletion

A

Side effects: hypotension, pulmonary toxicities (potentially fatal), hyperthyroidism/hypothyroidism due to structural similarity to thyroxine, abnormal increase in hepatic enzymes, AV nodal block & bradycardia

Contraindicated in cardiogenic shock, second or third-degree heart block, severe SA node dysfunction with marked sinus bradycardia or syncope

Nutrient depletions: Vitamin B6

40
Q

Class V antiarrhythmics

A

41
Q

Digoxin

  • Nutrient depletion
  • drug interaction
A

Bradycardic and inotropic

Used in heart failure (has not been shown to improve survival, but may palliate symptoms, improve functional status, reduce hospitalizations), atrial fibrillation, to control ventricular rate in patients with long-standing atrial fibrillation

Class V anti-arrhythmic (“Other”)
Excreted primarily via kidneys, unchanged; gut, liver metabolism

Reduce dose in chronic kidney disease
Watch potassium levels! Hypokalemia increases myocardial localization of digoxin; may use potassium to decrease symptoms of digoxin toxicity

Interacts with β-blockers, calcium channel blockers, potassium-wasting diuretics, many antibiotics, verapamil, quinidine, amiodarone
Anti-digoxin antibodies are available for life-threatening digoxin toxicity
Depletes calcium

Pregnancy category C

42
Q

Potassium chloride

A

Used in hypokalemia due to digitalis intoxication, familial periodic paralysis, diuretic use, cardiac arrhythmias

Side effects: hyperkalemia (contraindication), gastric/intestinal irritation and bleeding

Pregnancy category C

43
Q

Furosemide

A

Diuretic that exerts effect in loop of Henle
Used in edema (all causes) and hypertension
Also used in malignant hypertension and volume-based hypertension in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease
Use in mild-moderate chronic hypertension not as useful (short half-life)

SE: Electrolyte imbalances, thirst; Tinnitus, loss of hearing (dose-related ototoxicity)

Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), Hydrodiuril
Used alone and/or in combination
Treatment of chronic hypertension

SE: Blurred vision, headache (may idiosyncratically cause acute myopia & secondary angle-closure glaucoma)

47
Q

Spironolactone

A

K+ sparing diuretic

Aldosterone receptor antagonist, significant androgen receptor blocking action; competitive inhibitor of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone
Used in edema, CHF, primary aldosteronism, essential hypertension, hypokalemia
Triamterene, Dyrenium
Blocks epithelial sodium channels in the late distal convoluted tubule (DCT) and collecting duct which inhibits sodium reabsorption from the lumen. This effectively reduces intracellular sodium, decreasing the function of Na+/K+ ATPase, leading to potassium retention and decreased calcium, magnesium, and hydrogen excretion.
Used in edema. Off-label use: hypertension in children/adolescents and anti-hypertensive diuretic induced hypokalemia.
Used primarily in a combination (used alone, much less effective in reducing hypertension)

SE: Hyperkalemia, tumorigenic.

DO NOT USE WITH ACEi, ARB
