Pathologies
Procainamide is the first line treatment for this pathology that presents with delta waves on EKG
What is WPW?
This medication can be given during stable SVT to shorten the repolarization period
What is Lidocaine?
This BB can be used to treat atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation
What is atenolol or metoprolol?
What is metoprolol or atenolol (BB)?
If a patient is unable to get a PCI, they should try this medication
What is Alteplase or Streptokinase?
Adenosine can cause anticholingeric effects and bronchospasm to treat this type of SVT
What is PSVT?
This medication is a Class 1C sodium channel blocker that increases the QRS interval and decreases the conduction velocity
What is Flecainide or Propafenone?
BB should not be given to patients with this condition
What is Diabetes?
This medication decreases the risk for thrombosis and decreases platelet aggregation
What is Aspirin?
This class of medications should be avoided in patients who use cocaine
What are BB?
Amiodarone can be given to treat this general arrhythmia
What is tachycardia?
This medication can be given to slow AV and SA conduction to treat atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation, and SVT
What is Verapamil and Diltiazem?
What are BB?
This medication is contraindicated with a SBP of <90, a RV MI, or Sildenafil
What is Nitroglycerin?
If a patient cannot take an ACEI, this is the next line of treatment for heart failure
What is ARB?
In treating tachycardia, this medication can cause hypotension, increased LFTs, pulmonary fibrosis, and thyroid issues
What is amiodarone?
This medication is categorized outside of the Class 1-4 system to treat atrial fibrillation and heart failure
What is Digoxin?
Aside from DM, patients with these two conditions should not take BB
What is asthma and COPD?
If a patient with angina cannot tolerate BB, they can take Verapamil or Diltiazem, belonging to this class of medications
What is Calcium Channel Blockers?
This is the TOC for mild to moderate CHF
What are loop diuretics?
WPW is treated with this class of medication
What is Class 1A sodium channel blockers?
Sotalol and Amiodarone are in this class of medication, used to treat both atrial and ventricular arrhythmias
What is Potassium channel blockers?
Aside from atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation, selective BB can treat these 2 conditions
What is PSVT and V Tach?
STEMI should be treated with reperfusion and a PCI within this amount of time
What is 90 minutes?
Adverse effects of this medication class include hyperkalemia, gynecomastia, and metabolic acidosis
What are Potassium sparing diuretics?
