Review session Flashcards
Main difference between slow/fast AP
Fast - upstroke by Na
Slow - upstroke by Ca (no phase 1,2)
Slow AP conduction at ____?
SA/AV nodes
IN nodal pacemaker cells, how does beta1, M2, and alpha 1 affect AP
beta 1 - increase phase 4 slope = increase HR/inotropy/lusitropy
M2/Alpha 2 - decrease phase 4 slope = decrease HR
Phase 4 in slow AP driven by which current
funny current
Phase 4 in fast AP is driven by
Ik1, Ina, Ica
Na/K and Na/C
(Na out/K in) (Na in/Ca out)
Phase 0 in fast AP driven by:
INa in
Phase 1 in fast AP driven by:
IKto (transient outward K current)
Phase 2 in fast AP driven by
Plateau = Ca in = K out
Phase 3 in fast AP driven by:
Ikr/Ikr pushing K out
Group 1 = ___ blocker
Example
Na channel
Procainamide/lidocaine
Group 2 = ___ blocker
Example
beta
esmolol
Group 3 = ___ blocker
Example
Potassium channel
amiodarone
Group 4 = ___ blocker
Example
Calcium channel
Verapamil
Diltiazem
Group 5 = ___ blocker
Example
miscellaneous
Adenosine, K/Mg
Ib difference from Ia/Ic drugs
Lidocaine - targets ONLY depolarized ventricles (target inactivated)
Ia/Ic = on atria-ventricles (target open)
Class III effects
blocks repolarization (K) --> rhythm control increase QT - refractory
Class I effects
delays upstroke (conduction) and decrease AP - rhythm control
Class II effects
Decrease heart rate/AV conduction (block beta) - increase phase 4 time (decrease slope)
Class IV effects
Decrease AV conduction/HR
Block Ca = slow phase 0 in node
_____ have greater ratio of vascular dilation to cardiac effects
Dihydropryidines/nifedipine
_____ mostly affects cardiac nodal tissue (phase _) and cardiac muscle (phase _)
class 4 - verapamil/diltiazem 0, 2
Adenosine is an _____ nucleoside, acts as ___ on _____ receptor at ____
endogenous
Agoinst
A1/P1 purinergic receptors
AV node
Adenosine causes ____
hyperpolarization (increase IK1) - reduce phase 0
Increase refractory period
Digoxin, vagal maneuver, Ach, Adenosine on slow AP
phase 4 - hyperpolarized + decrease slope
Ach acts on __ receptor and adenosine acts on __ receptor - coupled to ___
M2
A1
Gi/o
Bradyarrhytmias due to 2 facotrs:
failure to initiate (sinus node dysf)
Failure to conduct - AV block
Treatment of Sinus Node dysfunction (brady)
Pacemaker
remove causative agent (Beta/ca blocker)
Treatment of AV block (brady)
Acute: Dopamine, epi, atropine, electrical stimulation/transvenous pacing
Chronic: permanent cardiac pacing
Rate control drugs
class II (beta) IV (CCB) - AV blocks
Digoxin - parasympathomimetic
Adenosin - membrane hyperpol
Rhythm control drugs
Class I, III
increase refractory period (block K) (Ia,III)
Decrease conduction velocity (block Na channels - I, III-amiodarone)
Causes of Tachy
triggered automaticity (afterdepol EAD/DAD) Reentry
Sinus tachycardia treatment
no arrhythmia - need to treat underlying condition
EAD vs DAD afterdepol mechanism
EAD: increase ICaL
DAD: Increase NCX (high Ca - stimulates Na to come in)
EAD/DAD after depol AP
EAD: phase2/3 repol
DAD: after repol (during phase 4)
EAD common when
slow HR, low K extracellular, drug that prolong APD (phase 2)
results in long QT –> Torsades de pointes
DAD is caused by
intracellular Ca overload (Ischmeia, adrenergic stress, digoxin toxicity)
Epinephrine is a _____, causes:
beta agonists
Ca overload, PVC, Vtach, Vfib
Reentry is characterized by ___ and requires 2 things:
retrograde conduction
- unidirectional conduction
- Conduction slower than refractory
SVT caused by ___
reentry in AV node
SA –> Atrium –> AV –> loop AV –> Atrium
