Classification
- Therapeutic: antiarryhythmics, inotropics - Pharmacologic: digitalis, glycosides. Action - increases force of myocardial contraction. - prolongs refractory period of the AV node. Therapeutic: increases cardiac output, slowing of the Heart Rate. Contraindications -hypersensitivity, Uncontrolled ventricular, arrhythmias, AV block. Side effect: - CNS: fatigue, headache - EENT: blurred vision - CV: arrythmias, bradycardia RN Implications: - monitor ECG throughout IV administration and 6 hours after each dose.
