Digoxin MOA
Calcium channel blocker

Increases intracellular Ca2+, increasing heart contractility indirectly by inhibiting Na/K pump, which disables Na/Ca pump, keeping calcium in myocardial cells

Quinidine, hypercalcemia, hypokalemia-increase digoxin toxicity

Digoxin improves contractility of heart, it does not improve survival in CHF
What drug causes a prolonged PR (>200ms) aka 1st degree heart block?
Digoxin
Drugs that improve survival in CHF
ACE inhibitors
Spironolactone
Metoprolol
What type of drug slows cardiac remodeling and decreases risk of CHF in post-MI patients
Captopril (ACE inhibitors)
Which cardiac enzyme is the most sensitive for MI
Troponin
Nitroglycerin MOA
Decreases preload

Nitrates cause the formation of NO, causing venous dilation. Dilated veins store more blood, thus increase preload. Vasodilation will also reduce afterload, reducing cardiac work and oxygen demand
Class IA antiarrhythmics
Quinidine
Procainamide
Disopyramide
Class IA MOA
1. Reduce slope of phase 0 depolarization (slows AP starting) of fast response tissue (atrial & ventricular cells)

2. Increases AP duration
Class IB Drug
Lidocaine
Class IB MOA
1. Reduce slope of phase 0 depolarization
(slows AP starting)

2. Decreases AP duration

3. Preferentially affects ischemic tissue
Toxicity of ALL class I antiarrhythmics are increased by
HyperK+
Toxicity of Quinidine (3)
Cinchonism (tinnitus, headache)
Torsades de pointes
Thrombocytopenia
Antiarrhythmic that increases toxicity of digoxin
Quinidine
Toxicity of Procainamide
SLE-like syndrome (anti-histone ABs)
DOC for POST-MI ventricular arrhythmia
Lidocaine
DOC for Digitalis toxicity
Lidocaine
Toxicity of Lidocaine
CNS stimulation (seizures)
Why do you use class IC antiarrhythmics as a LAST RESORT?
Proarrhythmic (especially contraindicated post-MI)
Class II antiarrhythmics
B blockers
Class II MOA
1. Inhibit sympathetics, slowing rate of discharge of abnormal cardiac pacemakers (AV node esp sensitive)

2. Decrease slope of phase 4
Shortest acting B blocker
Esmolol
Class III antiarrhythmics
K+ channel blockers:
Amiodarone
Sotalol
Class III antiarrhythmic mostly a K+ channel blocker;
Has class I, II, III and IV effects
Amiodarone
Class III antiarrhythmic mostly a K+ channel blocker;
also a B blocker
Soltalol
Class III MOA
Increases AP duration by prolonging repolarization
Toxicity of amiodarone (5)
Pulmonary fibrosis
Hypo or hyperthyroidism
Skin deposits (smurf skin)
corneal deposits
Hepatotoxicity
Class IV antiarrhythmics
Calcium channel blockers:
Verapamil
Diltiazem
Toxicity of Class IV
Constipation
Edema
Flush
Cardiac depression
DOC for supraventricular tachycardia; very short 1/2 life (15 sec)
Adenosine
Lipid-Lowering Drugs
Lipid-Lowering Drugs
Statins MOA
Inhibit HMG-CoA Reductase

Lower LDL
Toxicity of Statins
Rhabdomyolysis
Liver Toxicity
Niacin MOA
Inhibits lipolysis in adipose tissue
Reduces VLDL secretion from liver

Increases HDL
Toxicity of Niacin
Flushed face (reduce w/ aspirin)
Ancanthosis nigricans (hyperglycemia)
Hyperuricemia
Bile acid resins (Cholestyramine) MOA
Prevent intestinal reab of bile acids
Liver must use more cholesterol to replace bile acids
Toxicity of Bile acid resins
Tastes bad
Decreased absorption of fat-soluble vitamins
Cholesterol gallstones
Fibrates (gemfibrozil) MOA
Upregulate LPL to increase TG clearance

Lowers TG
Toxicity of fibrates
Myositis
Hepatoxicity
Cholesterol gallstones
Psychiatry Pharm
Psychiatry Pharm
DOC for bulimia
SSRIs
DOC for ADHD
Methylphenidate (Ritalin)
Amphetamines
DOC for depression with insomnia
Mirtazapine
DOC for OCD
SSRIs
Clomipramine
DOC for PTSD
SSRIs
MOA of Typical antipsychotics
Block D2 receptors
Haloperidol
Typical antipsychotic (high-potency)
Trifluoperazine
Typical antipsychotic (high-potency)
Fluphenazine
Typical antipsychotic (high-potency)
Thioridazine
Typical antipsychotic (Low potency)
Chlorpromazine
Typical antipsychotic (Low potency)
Difference between high-potency vs low-potency Typical antipsychotics
High potency=Extrapyramidal symptoms

Low potency=anticholinergic, antihistamine (sedation), alpha blockade (hypotension)
Chlorpromazine SE
Corneal deposits
Thioridazine SE
Retinal deposits
Difference between Typical vs Atypical Antipsychotics
Atypical antipsychotics have fewer extrapyramidal and anticholinergic SE.
