Antiarrhythmic Drugs
Background of Cardiac Electrophysiology
Membrane potential of cardiac cells
Fast response :
resting potential, High -80 ~ -95mv
(Atrial muscles
the rate of rise of phase 0 is rapid
Ventricular muscles
propagation will be rapid
Purkinje fiber)
Na+ influx, rapid depolarization
Slow response :
(sinus, atrioventricular (AV) nodel
cells, impaired fast
Response cells)
resting potential, low -50~ -70mv
slow depolarization, Ca 2+ influx
action potential propagates slowly
Phase 0 : depolarization
Phase 1,2,3 : repolarization
Phase 4 : diastolic voltage time course
0 ~ 3 : action potential duration APD

1. Excitability: relationship between threshold potential and
restingpotential level
2. Automaticity:
3. Conductivity: conductive rate is dependent on membrane
responsiveness
Membrane responsiveness: relationship between Vmax
of phase 0 and membrane potential level
4. Effective refractory period, ERP
The time between phase 0 and sufficient recovery of
sodium channels in phase 3 to permit a propagated
response to external stimulus is the “refractory period” .
二 Mechanisms of arrhythmias
1. Disturbances of impulse formation (冲动形成障碍)
① The changes of normal autonomic mechanism
Change of pacemaker current (cell) of diastolic
autonomic depolarization can cause autonomic alteration
such as : mental stress (tension)
drug toxicity
fever
excitation
② formation of abnormal autonomic mechanism
non-autonomic cell: atrial muscles
autonomic cell
abnormal autonomy
ventricular muscles
resting potential : -60mv
repetitive impulse
arrhythmias
2. triggered activity (触发活动) and Afterdepolarization (后除极)
A Early afterdepolarization (EAD,早后除极)
Occur in phase 2, 3 , low potassium, Ca 2+ inward
E.A. is secondary depolarization that occur before
repolarization is complete. secondary depolarization commences at
membrane potentials close to those present during the plateau of
the action potential
B delayed afterdepolarization ( DAD, 迟后除极)
Occur in phase 4, Ca 2+ overload in cell, Na + inward.
D.A. is a secondary depolarization that occurs early in diastole,
that is, after full repolarization has been achieved.
3. Disturbances of impulse conduction (冲动传导障碍)
A causing partial and complete block
B reentry---fibrillation心室纤颤 and flutter心室扑动
tachycardia
extra beats ( extrasystoles)
formation unidirectional block of cardial tissue
of reentry circuiting tract
shortening the effective refractory period
Reentry circuit established
1 forward impulse obstructed and extinguished
2 decremental conduction(递减传导) and unidirectional
block (单向阻滞) of antegrade(顺行) impulse
3 retrograde(逆行) impulse conducted across depressed
region
4 reentry circuit established
Arrhythmia may be manifest as one or a few extra beats or as
a sustained tachycardia
Reentry(折返) : circus movement
one impulse reenters and excites areas of the heart more
than once
Mechanism of the reentry
正常心肌
折返形成
单向传导阻滞
4. Genetics/gene mutation
• Long Q-T SYNDROME, LQTS
• 3 mutation genes:
SCN5A /chromosome 3: coding sodium channel in
myocardia;
HERG/ chromosome 7: coding Ikr potassium channel
(内向整流钾通道);
KVLQT1/ chromosome 11: coding Iks potassium
channel (延迟整流钾通道);
5. Disturbances of Potassium channels
Classification of
Antiarrhythmic Drugs
Antiarrhythmic agents are divided into FOUR classes
Assignment to the respective classes is made on the
basis of drug-induced alterations in ion channel
function and cardiac electrophysiologic properties
The classification, while helpful, is not absolute and
overlapping properties exist among the many drugs.
• A. Antiarrhythmic drugs can depress Na + inward of nonautonomic cell in phase 4 or depress Ca 2+ inward of
autonomic cell in phase 4 depress automaticity
• B. Antiarrhythmic drugs can accelerate K+ outward of
phase 3, increase maximum diastolic potential (more
negative ) increase voltage difference between maximum
diastolic potential and threshold potential depress
automaticity

•
•
•
Propranolol
Esmolol
Sotalol
other beta-adrenoceptor antagonists
Beta - Adrenoceptor Blocking Agents
• Mechanism of Antiarrhythmic Action
– Antiarrhythmic effects of Class II drugs are attributed
to actions:
• blockade of postsynaptic cardiac beta - adrenoceptors
• membrane stabilizing action
• Otherwise, as a sodium channel blocker to suppress diastolic
automatic depolarization in 4 phase (decreasing automaticity)
and conductivity in 0 phase.
– The former, blockade of beta - adrenoceptors is the
more important action, the latter may require higher
concentrations than achieved with therapeutic doses
Cardiac Effects of beta - Adrenoceptor Blocker
• Decreasing automaticity: as an adrenoceptor blocker
to reduce the heart rate
• Decreasing conductivity: membrane stabilizing action
(Lengthening of atrioventricular conduction time and
minimal prolongation ventricular in refractoriness (Sotalol prolongs the refractory period, Class III) )
• APD and ERP:
Clinical concentration: shorten APD and ERP;
Higher concentration: prolong APD and ERP;
