1Choose the incorrect statement.
- A2% of all people over age 65 in New Zealand have Afib.
- BPeople with dysrythmias have a higher risk of mortality from MI, stroke, HF and dementia.
- CVentricular arrhythmias are less common than atrial fibrillation.
2The mechanism of arrhythmia can be due to abnormal [blank_start]impulse[blank_end] firing or abnormal [blank_start]conduction[blank_end]. Abnormal impulse firing can be increased [blank_start]automaticity[blank_end] (where cells [blank_start]outside[blank_end] SA node start firing spontaneously) or [blank_start]triggered[blank_end] activity (where cells contract [blank_start]twice[blank_end] despite only being activated once).
- Aimpulse
- Bconduction
- Cautomaticity
- Doutside
- Etriggered
- Ftwice
3Bradyarrhythmias:
1. Sinus Bradycardia - Slow heart rate <[blank_start]60[blank_end] bpm(elderly, athletes).
• Increased vagal tone or stimulation, vomiting, myocardial ischemia or MI, [blank_start]hypo[blank_end]thyroid, hypo[blank_start]thermia[blank_end], increased [blank_start]intracranial[blank_end] pressure. Can be caused by drugs: Beta blockers (slow [blank_start]impulse firing[blank_end]) and/or non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers (slow [blank_start]conduction[blank_end]).
2. Sick Sinus Syndrome -
• A [blank_start]combination[blank_end] of bradycardia and tachycardia
• Sinus [blank_start]node[blank_end] dysfunction
• Associated with episodes of [blank_start]atrial[blank_end] tachyarrhythias
3. Atrio-Ventricular Block - impulses generated in atria are conducted [blank_start]slowly[blank_end] to ventricles or [blank_start]blocked[blank_end] partially/totally.
2 and 3 can be caused by [blank_start]BBs, CCBs, or digoxin[blank_end]- A60

4Tachyarrhythmias:
1. Atrial flutter - Rapid, [blank_start]regular[blank_end] atrial depolarization. Atrial rate: 250-350 bpm. If atrial impulses are conducted to the [blank_start]ventricle[blank_end], it can result in ventricular tachycardia. Since atrial rate is high, AV [blank_start]block[blank_end] may occur to protect ventricles...
2. Atrial fibrillation - Most common sustained arrhythmia. mpulses conduct [blank_start]irregularly[blank_end] across the atria – leading to fibrillation. Atrial rate [blank_start]350-600[blank_end] bpm. AV node irregularly filters (blocks) atrial impulses, irregular increased [blank_start]ventricular[blank_end] rate occurs. Concern is atrial thrombus formation due to stasis. Clinical Features: Fatigue, palpitation, syncope, worsening [blank_start]heart failure[blank_end].
3. Ventricular Tachycardia - Rate [blank_start]100-250[blank_end] bpm. '[blank_start]Sustained[blank_end] VT' if tachycardia lasts >30 seconds. ECG: wide and rapid [blank_start]QRS[blank_end] complexes ([blank_start]monomorphic[blank_end]: All QRS complexes are similar, or [blank_start]polymorphic[blank_end]: QRS complexes change in morphology, amplitude, polarity).
4. Torsades de Pointes (TdP) - Variance of polymorphic VT. Drug causes: Anti-arrhythmics (Class Ia, Class III), phenothiazines, erythromycin. Electrolyte causes: [blank_start]hypokalemia[blank_end], hypomagnesemia.
5. Ventricular Fibrillation - Chaotic ([blank_start]irregular[blank_end]) ventricular arrhythmia. Rate 250-500 bpm. Follows ischemic event, most frequent cause of sudden [blank_start]death[blank_end].

7Vaughan Williams Classification of Anti-arrythmics:
• Class I - [blank_start]Sodium channel blockers[blank_end]
• Class Ia: Quinidine, Procainamide, Disopyramide (intermediate block)
• Class Ib: Lidocaine, Mexilitine (fast block)
• Class Ic: Flecainide, Propafenone, Moricizine (slow block)
• Class II - [blank_start]Beta adrenergic blockers[blank_end]
• Class III - [blank_start]Potassium channel blockers[blank_end]
- Amiodarone, Dronedarone, Sotalol, Ibutilide, Dofetilide
• Class IV - [blank_start]Calcium channel blockers[blank_end]
- Diltiazem, Verapamil- ASodium channel blockers
- BBeta adrenergic blockers
- CPotassium channel blockers
- DCalcium channel blockers
8Choose the incorrect statement.
- AAll sodium channel blockers (Class I) decrease conduction velocity and automaticity, but have different affects on the refractory period.
- BBeta blockers reduce conduction velocity and automaticity, and increase the refractory period.
- CPotassium channel blockers only affect refractory period, by increasing it.
- DCalcium channel blockers reduce conduction velocity and automaticity, and increase the refractory period.
9Diltiazem in patients post-MI with heart failure and flecainide post-MI to suppress ventricular ectopy both decrease mortality.
- ARichtig
- BFalsch
10Choose the incorrect statement about lidocaine.
- AIt is Class Ib.
- BIt decreases depolarization, automaticity, and excitability of the ventricles during systole.
- CIt's onset of action occurs within 30-90 seconds.
- DIt can cause hypotension, arrhythmias, and heart block.
- EIt can cause sedation, dizzy, vision changes, seizures, parasthesia.
