18 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
DOC for Supraventricular Tachycardia? (steady)
propranolol and Na+ channel blocker or K+ channel blocker
DOC for Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia? (PSVT)
Verapamil
DOC for Ventricular Fibrillation?
IV lidocaine (into the heart!) or defibrillator STAT or your pt's gonna croak

Epinephrine
DOC for AV Block?
goal: reduce parasympathetic tone.

--> use IV Atropine
DOC for Sinus Bradycardia?
goal: reduce parasympathetic tone

--> IV Atropine (block vagal cardiac tone)

Pacemaker

Isoproterenol in emergencies
DOC for Sinus Tachycardia?
adenosine, Beta-blockers

goal: reduce sympathetic tone
DOC for Atrial Tachycardia?
beta-blocker & Na+ chl. blocker

beta-blocker & K+ chl blocker

verapamil & digitalis
DOC for Ventricular Tachycardia?
Class I drugs: procainamide, quinidine, flecainide--increase ERP

Amiodarone, Dronaderone

Beta Blockers (prevent xs sympathetic stim. of ventricles)

Implanted Defibrillator
MOA of adenosine?
Causes temporary heart block at AV node --> good for PSVT
K+ Channel Blockers

End effect?
Examples?
Delay repolarization, Prolong ERP

Dofetilide, Ibutilide
Class IA Na+ Channel blockers

End effect?
Examples?
decrease Vmax, increase ERP and AP threshold

procainamide, quinidine (also antimuscarinic and K+ channel blockade)
Class IB Na+ Channel blockers

End effect?
Examples?
decreases automaticity in His-Purkinje Fibers. decrease ERP and AP duration.

Lidocaine, Mexitetine, Tocainide
Class IC Na+ Channel blockers

End effect?
Examples?
lesser increase in AP duration and ERP than class IA; greater reduction in Vmax

Flecainide (also propafenone, moricizine)
Amiodarone, Dronaderone

MOA? End effect?
high affinity Na+ and K+ Channel blockade
low affinity Ca+ channel and Beta blockade

Amiodarone's Iodine --> pulmonary fibrosis, DDI's, etc. :(
Sotalol

MOA? End effect?
combo beta blocker and K+ blocker. Prolongs APD and ERP, Decreases SA nodal automaticity and conduction

l-sotalol is better B-blocker

low dose --> B-blockade
high dose --> B-blockade and K+ blockade
Class II antiarrhythmic drugs

Examples?
MOA? End effect?
Propranolol, Metoprolol, Esmolol

Beta-adrenergic Receptor blockade

Decreased sympathetic tone --> reduce automaticity, etc.
Adenosine

MOA? End Effect?
Activates Kir in atria --> hyperpolarization of cell, can't reach threshold

Prevents sympathetic Ca++ chl opening --> good for preventing AV nodal re-entry
Class IV Antiarrhythmic drugs

MOA? End effect?
Examples?
block phase 2 Ca++ current --> lengthen duration of AP.
decrease SA node automaticity

only phenylalkylamines (verapamil) and benzothiazepines (diltiazem).
