atenolol - generic name |
Tenormin - trade name
|
|
|
Beta-adrenergic blockers
propranolol - generic name |
*Inderal - trade name
nonselective beta-blocker combat some arrhyhmias by inhibiting adrenergic (sympathetic) nerve receptors. However, not effective with some. also used in the treatment of hypertension & some chronic angina. |
|
|
Calcium Channel Blocker
verapamil - generic name |
Isoptin, Calan - trade names
they counteract arrhythmias by suppressing the action of calcium in contraction of the heart muscle, thereby reducing cardiac excitability and dilating the main coronary arteries. They are also used in the treatment of angina and hypertension. |

2. Calcium Channel Blockers 3. Disopyramide 4. Lidocaine 5. Procainamide 6. Quinidine |
|
|
Quinidine
How they work to fight arrythmias? |
by decreasing myocardial excitability and may depress myocardial contractility.
|
|
|
Procainamide
How do they work at fighting arrythmias? |
It is used primarily as prophylactic therapy to maintain normal rhythm after conversion by other methods.
|
|
|
Lidocaine
How do they work at fighting arrythmias? |
local anesthetics are administered for their antiarrhythmic effects and membrane-stabilizing action.
|
|
|
Disopyramide
How do they work at fighting arrythmias? |
a synthetic agent that decreases myocardial excitability, inhibits conduction, and may depress myocardial contractility. It has significant anticholinergic properties
|
|
|
Calcium Channel Blockers
How do they work at fighting arrythmias? |
counteract arrhythmias by suppressing the action of calcium in contraction of the heart muscle, thereby reducing cardiac excitability and dilating the main coronary
|
|
|
Adrenergic Blockers
How do they work at fighting arrythmias? |
Beta-adrenergic blockers - the action is complex, and the results can include a membrane-stabilizing effect on the heart.
