Q

Adenosine

Class? mechanism of action? Clinical uses?

A

nucleotide receptor agonist

conversion of atrial arrhythmias

46
Q

Adenosine toxicity?

A

Nadda! (well, none on our list)

47
Q

What effect do class IC AADs have on the QRS complex? What about the effective refractory period?

A

Class IC AADs widen the QRS cuz they slow phase 0 (upstroke) a ton, but the ERP is unchanged.

48
Q

What is the mechanism of action of class I AADs?

A

They block Na+ channels responsible for Phase 0 (upstroke) of the cardiac action potential

49
Q

What is the mechanism of action of class III AADs? What effect do they have on the action potential and ERP?

A

They block K+ channels. Amiodarone and dronedarone inhibit Na+ channels, too. Action potential is prolonged, ERP is prolonged.

50
Q

What is the mechanism of action of class IV AADs?

A

They block Ca2+ channels responsible for Phase 0 (upstroke) of the nodal pacemaker action potential for rate control.
