define--> use dependent or state-dependent
channels that are being used frequently , or in an inactivated state, are more susceptible to block
what phase do drugs that effect Na or Ca channels have an effect on
phase 4 by reducing the ratio of Na or Ca permeability to K permeability
define--> class 1 action
Na channel blockers
define--> class 2 action
reduce adrenergic activity(Beta blockers)
define--> class 3 action
drugs that prolong the action potential duration(K channel blockers)
define--> class 4 action
blockade of the Ca channel current
where do most class 3 drugs work
on the rapid component of the delayed rectifier K current(IKr)
characteristics of class 1A drugs
prolong the APD and sissociate with intermediate kinetics
characteristics of class 1B drugs
shorten the APD in some heart tissues and dissociate with rapid kinetics
characteristics of drugs with class 1C action
minimal effects on APD and dissociate with slow kinetics
drugs in the 1A subgroup
procainamide, quinidine, disopyramide
MOA for procainamide
blocks Na channels which slows the upstroke of the AP, slows conduction, prolongs the QRS
what other action does procainamide have outside of class 1 action
nonspecifically blocks K channels
extracardiac effects of procainamide
ganglion blocker(hypotension)
toxicity of procainamide
QT prolongation(Torsades) and with long term therapy an SLE like syndrome
what metabolite of procainamide is implicated in torsades
NAPA
how procainamide is metabolized
hepatic metabolism and excreted in the urine
therapeutic uses of procainamide
Atrial and ventricular arrythmias
(DOC after lidocaine or amiodarone)
MOA of quinidine
blocks Na channels which slows the upstroke of the AP, slows conduction, prolongs the QRS
toxicity of quinidine
cinchonism
MOA of disopyramide
blocks Na channels which slows the upstroke of the AP, slows conduction, prolongs the QRS
CI for disopyramide
heart failure
approved use for disopyramide
Ventricular arrhythmias
drugs in the class 1B subgroup
Lidocaine and Mexiletine
