Study Notes
Vaughan Williams Classification
- Class Ia: Sodium channel blockade, increasing the duration of action potential, leading to supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias. Drugs include disopyramide, procainamide, quinidine.
- Class Ib: Sodium channel blockade affecting abnormal heart tissue, prolonging ventricular arrhythmias. Drugs include Lidocaine and mexiletine.
- Class Ic: Sodium channel blockade, affecting the number of potassium channels and inward calcium channels; minimal effect on repolarization; mainly affecting atrioventricular and ventricular arrhythmias. Drugs include flecainide and propafenone.
- Class II: Beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist (beta-blocker), decreasing spontaneous depolarization and conduction, used to treat atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. Drugs include atenolol, bisoprolol, metoprolol, propranolol, esmolol.
- Class III: Potassium channel blockade, prolonging the duration of action potential, used to treat supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias. Drugs include amiodarone and sotalol.
- Class IV: Calcium channel blockade of the L-type, reducing conduction velocity and contractility, used to treat supraventricular arrhythmias. Drugs include verapamil and diltiazem.
Rhythm Control vs. Rate Control
- Rhythm control: Aims to restore a normal heart rhythm. Drugs include amiodarone, flecainide, and sotalol.
- Rate control: Aims to slow the heart rate. Drugs include metoprolol, verapamil, and digoxin.
