BETA BLOCKERS
ANTIARRYTHEMICS
A. USE
1) Premature ventricular contractions
2) Tachycardia
3) Premature atrial contractions
4) Ventricular dysrhythmias
5) Atrial fibrillation and Atrial flutter
B. ACTION
1. Abnormal electric current in the heart
2. Block Na, K, and calcium channels
3. Class 1: Depresses myocardial excitability to electrical stimuli thus decreasing the pulse rate
4. Class 2: Aneurysms and aortic dissections
5. Class 3: Amiodarone blocks potassium channels in the heart. This is used for ventricular dysrhythmias
C. ADVERSE REACTIONS
1. Hypotension
2. (d) Bradycardia
