Vaughan-Williams classification of antiarrhythmic agents
| Vaughan-Williams classification of antiarrhythmic agents | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Class IA | Class IB | Class IC | Class II | Class III | Class IV | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mechanism | Predominantly sodium channel blocker with some potassium channel blocking activity | Sodium channel blocking activity | *V1 receptor of GIT vasculatures *Antidiuretic effects | *Pure α1 agonist(Vasoconstrictive) *No β1 | *Predominant β1 agonist (↑contractility) *β2 arterial smooth muscle (Hypotensive) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Agents | Quinidine, procainamide, disopyramide | Lidocaine, mexiletine, phenytoin | 2nd line septic shock | 1st line Neurogenic shock 3rd-4th line septic shock | *1st line cardiogenic shock * low output septic shock | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Effect | Slows conduction, & prolongs repolarization | Slow conduction in diseased tissues, shorten repolarization | 0.03 unit/min | 20-300 mcg/kg/min | 2.5-20 mcg/kg/min | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Indications | Pre-excited atrial arrhythmias PSVT, Ventricular tachycardia | Arrhythmia (more β1) | *Coronary spasm *Splanchnic vasoconstriction | Reflex bradycardia (only α1) | Hypotension (β2) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Complications | Abdominal cramping, diarrhea, rash, cinchonism (hearing decrease, tinnitus, and blurred vision), thrombocytopenia, hemolytic anemia, lupus syndrome , granulomatous hepatitis, QRS widening and ventricular arrhythmias. | *Not in cardiogenic shock *Arrhythmia *Ischemia induced cardiotoxicity | *Ischemic heart *Gut ischemia | *Bradycardia *Heart block | *Hypotension (add α1 agonist) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Do's
- Toxic levels of quinidine cause severe QRS widening and ventricular arrhythmias. (may reverse with the infusion of sodium lactate or sodium bicarbonate).
Don'ts
- Do not start with low dose Dopamine dose to perfuse the kidney.
