The Heart Flashcards
what is the order of the conduction system
- SA node -> AV node -> bundle of his -> Purkinje fibers
what happens in phase 0 of cardiac AP
- rapid depolarization
- Na+ channels open
what happens in phase 1 of cardiac AP
- partial repolarization
- Na+ channels close
what happens in phase 2 of cardiac AP
- plateau
- Ca2+ channels open
what happens during phasse 3 of cardiac AP
- repolarization
- Ca2+ channels close
- K+ channels open
what happens in phase 4 of cardiac AP
- pacemaker/resting
- degradation of membrane potential slowly- Ca2+ channels
whatis the absoluate refractory period
cannot be stimulated
what is the relative refractory period
- below the threshold
- respond to greater than normal stimulus
what are the 3 types of refractory period
- absolute refractory period
- relative refractory period
- supernormal excitatory period
what happens during the P wave
atrial depolarization
what happens during the PR interval
time to start of atrial depolarization to start of ventricular depolarization
what happens during th QRS complex
ventricular depolarization also includes atrial repolarizationwh
what happens during the T wave
ventricular repolarization
what happens during the QT interval
time between start of ventricular depolarization and end of repolarization
QT is ______ and must be adjusted at a HR of ______ bpm
rate dependent; greater than 60 bpm
what is prolonged QT in men and women
- women: greater than 460msec
- men: greater than 450 msec
what are the sites of arrhythmias
- atrial
- junctional
- ventricular
what are examples of tachycardia
- a fib
- SVT
- ventricular tachycardia
- ventricular fibrillation
what are examples of bradycardia
heart block and asystole
what are the mechanissm of cardiac arryhthmias
- delayed after depolarization
- re-entry
- ectopic pacemaker activity
- heart block
what are class I antiarrhythmic medications
- Na+ channel blockers
- subgroups: Ia, Ib, and Ic
what are class II antiarrhythmic medications
beta adrenoreceptor blockers
what are class III antiarrhythmic medications
K+ channel blockers
what are class IV antiarrhythmic medications
Ca2+ channel blockers
what are class V antiarrhythmic medications
miscellaneous
what phase do B agonists work on
stimulate phase 4
where do class I antiarrhythmic medications work
inhibit phase 0
where do class II antiarrhythmic medications work
stimulate phase 2
where do class IV antiarrhythmic medications work
inhibit phase 2
where do class III antiarrhythmic medications work
inhibit phase 3
what do class Ia antiarrhythmic meds do and give examples
- moderate Na+ channel blockade
- quinidine, procainamide, disopyramide
- increase ERP
what do class Ib antiarrhythmic meds do
- weak Na+ channel blockade
- Lidocaine, tocainide, mexilitine, phenytoin
- decrease ERP
what do class Ic antiarrhythmic meds do and what are exmaples
- strong Na+ channel blockade
- moricizine, flecainide, porpafenone
- increased ERP = increased QT duration
what is the brand name, MOA, use, ADRs, and drud-drug interactions of disopyramide
- brand name: norpace, norpace CR
- MOA: Na+ channel blockade (moderate)
- use: tx of PVC and VT
- ADRs: anticholinergic- dry mouth, constipation, urinary hesitancy, cardiac QT prolongation
- drug: drug interactions: other anticholinergic meds, increased risk of QT prolongation with macrolide antibiotics
what is the brand name, MOA, use, ADRs, and drud-drug interactions of mexiletine
brand name: mexitil
- MOA: Na+ channel blockade- weark
- use: treatment of documented life threatening ventricular dysrhythmias
- ADRs: nausea, vomiting, heartburn, dizziness, light headedness, tremors, convulsion
- Drug: drgu interactions: use the lowest effective dose of vasoconstrictor
what is the brand name, MOA, use, ADRs, and drud-drug interactions of propafenone
brand name: rythmol/rythmol SR
- MOA: Na+ channel blockade- strong
- use: treatment of documented life threatening ventricular dysrhythmias
- ADRs: nausea, vomiting, altered taste, constipation, dizziness
- Drug: drgu interactions: use the lowest effective dose of vasoconstrictor
what are the dental implications with Na+ channel blockers
- monitor vital signs - pulse to irregularity
- considers tress reduction protocol
- xerostomia- assss salivary flow as a factor of caries, perioodntal disease and candidiasis- most significant with Ia medications
- after supine positioning have patient sit upright for at least 2 minutes before standing to avoid orthostatic hypotension
- avoid or limit dose of vasoconstrictor
what do beta adrenoreceptor blockers/class II meds do
- block sympathetic stimulation to the heart
- decrease HR
- decrease automaticity
- block NEs effects on Ca2+ channels
- slow conduction through AV nodes ( increase refractory period)
- prevent iscemia
- AV nodal blocking agent
