Antiarrhythmics
Across
- 1. a life-threatening side effect of the lung produced by amiodarone
- 6. a situation in which clas I sodium channel blockers are most effective
- 8. extrasystolic event that is caused by calcium overload
- 11. reason for increased membrane potential leading to arrhythmia
- 12. Sodium channel blockers are more effective in ischemic tissue due to …..
- 14. most common side effects of anti-arrhythmic drugs
- 16. A drug to rapidly reduced heart rate in emergency cases (e.g. AV node reentry)
- 17. substance that can be used in case of acute bradycardia
- 18. drug that blocks the action potential in the sinus node
- 20. a ventricular arrythmia caused by digoxin
- 21. extrasystolic event that is more common in females
Down
- 1. sodium channel blocker that shows particular slow dissociation from the channel
- 2. An antiarrhythmic drug that greatly prolongs the QRS
- 3. An antiarrhythmic ineffective against atrial arrhythmias
- 4. common pathomechanism resulting in arrhythmia
- 5. An antiarrhythmic that is a selective inhibitor of the cardiac pacemaker current
- 7. A relatively common side effect of amiodarone
- 9. transporter in the plasma membrane of cardiomyocytes that regulates the calcium concentration
- 10. the family of voltage gated ion channels that is active during phase 3 of the ventricular action potential
- 13. An antiarrhythmic that is drug of choice for maintaining sinus rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation
- 15. substance that when consumed excessively causes tachycardia due to inhibition of adenosine receptors
- 19. The ion channel subtype blocked by all class I drugs
