• Reentry phenomenon
	○ Purkinje fibers running down both sides, and typically one thing that happens is you get a branching > signals going in one direction, and electrical signals in another direction > hit each other, and that \_\_\_\_ the activity
	○ When you get damage on one twig or the other > twig becomes blocked > and cannot clash with each other > the impulse/electrical drive that normally wipes out by the opposing twig is now left to run \_\_\_\_ > powerful enough to jump over the block > circle movements where the \_\_\_\_ is no longer in contorl > automaticity of the contractile muscle that's driving the heart > theory of reentry
	○ Different arrhythmias may be more dpeendent on one than the other

Q

• A fib > drugs that are good, but they will also be on anticoagulants
○ A lot of ____, sometimes you cannot even see them

A

p waves

Q

• Ventricular tachycardia > rapid, ventricular rate and you can see that it’s still kind of a repeated pattern > when get into ventricular fib > heart looks like a bowl of jello > little impulses all over the place > no drug that will reverse this > ____ is the only thing that will reverse it

A

cardioversion

39
Q

Normal and abnormal cardiac rhythms

• Torsades de pointes
	○ Form of \_\_\_\_ that you can see with cardiac damage, but can also see with adverse drug interactions
	○ First nonsedating antihistimine (seladane) > terfanidine is processed by 3A4, but grapefruit juice blocks conversion to fexofenidine (allegra), but \_\_\_\_ built up > ventricular arrhythmias (torsades) > not a fixed rate, it's really wild
• For ventricular arrhythmias the emergency drug is \_\_\_\_, and torsades is \_\_\_\_ to it and it can rapidly go into \_\_\_\_
	○ Torsades is just as bad as \_\_\_\_
A
ventricular arrhythmia
terf
IV lidocaine
resistant
ventricular fibrillation
rhabdomyelysis
