Term
antiarrythmics goal
Definition
decrease automaticy of ectopic pacemakersm roe than the SA node. generally decrease coductions nad excitability and icnrease refarcytory epriod in deplaozied tissue mroe htan normal tissue.
Term
pacemaker depol
Definition
phase 4 caused by sodium funny current , leads to calcium dpeol, which hten leads to pleasue fphase of clacium and potasisum
Term
sodium channel mechaics
Definition
restign state- the m gate is closed- folowoign dpeolarizaiton of surorundigm membrane m gate opens, and h gate open, sodium hannels come through. once certian action potential is reached the h gate clsoes, this is inactivatedstate cant be reactviated until regerneates the resting state, which only occurs after a period of recvoery.
resposnbile for phase 4 and 0 inactivatio.
Term
use dependant drugsm echanism
Definition
block electrical activity when there is a fast tachycardia or significannt loso f resting potenial. This is because they are only useful during hte active (phase 0) or inactivated channels (pahse 2). This will effect their kinetics and return to resting state. They reduce the numbero f availble ubocoked channels, reducing the excitatory cucrrents to level below that ruqired for prop. also prolong recovery tiem of the channels
Term
class I main action
Definition
sodium channel blockade.
Term
Class IA
Definition
prolong the action potential duration- dosiscoiate form channe with intermediate kinetics . They slwo down upstroke of aciton potenstal via sodium binding. and prolong action potential duration and qt interval via nonspecific blockade of potassium channels.
Term
Class IB drugs MOA and type
Definition
shorten teh APD in some tissues of the heart, dissociated wtih rapid iientics (lidocaine) . Rapid kientics at normal/resting potentials result in recovery form block when poetntials go back to normal and no effecto nconduciton. Increased ianctiona and slow unbindg resutls ins lective depression of condcution in depoalrized cells.
