How can you slow down Atrioventricular renetrent tachycardia in WPW? IS the QRS wide or narrow
through AV node, narrow

blocking at AV node won't help

need to block Na or K channels to slow accessory pathway

atria and ventriccles, not in AV node
Lidocaine in ischemic tissue
sodium channels open and drug binds, takes longer to come off, prolongs phase 0, less steep of a slope

less chance of arryhthmia then 1C (last longer affects normal tissue)

has muscarinic affect that needs to be accoutned for in cardioversion
Lidoacaine MOA
blocks fast Na channels, decreases phase 0 and action potential duration, and phase 4

mainly in ventricles
flecanide
sodium channel block is more pronouced

can only be used without structural heart disease (previous MI or CHF), used for a fib and other stuff
Amiodarone
blocks K channels prolongs AP duration, increases ERP

blocks inactivated Na cahannels, decrases conduction velocity, also blocks Ca channel, and alpha and B blocker too

DOC for arryhtmias in patients with heart failure
What's the difference between amiodarone and dronedarone?
donedarone does not have iodine so less toxic but... bad for severe heart failure
will CCBs work in narrow QRS WPW?
yes, decrease conduction velocity thorugh AV node and increased ERP in AV node, prevent reentry, but no good for a fib and WPW together
adenosine MOA
actiates adenosine receptors in AV ndoe, stops AV ndoal reentry

can be used for AVNRT and WPW
Mag sulfate as an antiarryhmic
used for torsades, MOA unknown, suppresses EADs
