ANTI ARRHYTHMICS

States of Na+ channels:  Ventricular myocyte:
1. Open – during upstroke (P0) Na blockers have inc. affinity a) slow down or reduce slope of or ↓upstroke (P0) – this is the main “Na+ channel blockade”
2. Inactivated – during plateau (P2) function
3. Resting/Closed – as the membrane repolarizes (P3) IA - moderate
IB – weak IC > IA > IB
Na & Ca blockers – alter threshold potential (TP) aka the CFL IC – strong
K blockers (class III function) – prolongation of repolarization (P3) → prolong (APD) action potential
duration → prolonged ERP b) some prolongs repolarization (P3) ---- additional potassium channel blockade ↑ APD →
increases ERP
Sodium channel blockade (Class I) IA - increase
 SA node: ↓ automaticity by ↑TP (hard to create an action potential) & ↓slope of P4 or slow IB - shortens
P4 (slow spontaneous depolarization) IC – no effect

Class I: SODIUM Channel Blockers
Class IA (“PaQ, Die”) MODERATE Na+ blockade + ↑ ERP Anti-cholinergic/anti-muscarinic/Atropin-like effects : D > Q > P

Ventricular myocyte effects EFFECTS  Fever

Blurred vision
Quinidine  Similar to procainamide  Excessive slowed  Diarrhea, nausea,  Rapid absorption after Occasional:
 More cardiac anti- conduction vomiting oral intake Atrial flutter/fib

 Thrombocytopenia  Slow release formulations
 Angioneurotic edema

Disopyramide  Similar to procainamide  Similar to quinidine:  ATROPINE-LIKE  Oral  Ventricular arrhythmias
