85
Q

class I antiarrhythmics generally have affinity for which types of receptors?

what are their relative Na+ channel bindings? how does this related to their indications / contraindications?

A

inactivated & active Na+ channels (not those in resting). therefore, use dependent (not enough time to be in ‘resting’ state’

relative Na+ channel binding strength 1C > IA > IB.

IC (morzicline, flecainide, propafenone) binds so strongly, will have accumulating affects w/ each cardiac cycle (takes long to dissociate), esp in tachyarrhythmia. so much so that block of conduction velocity in myocytes can be greater than AV node block —> leading to pro-arrhythmic effects. CONTRAindicated in ischemic / structural defective tissue, bc will bind too avidly

IB (lidocaine, mexelitine, phenytoin) has less ‘use dependence’ bc binds less avidly, and dissociates rapidly (minimal cumulative effect). but, in ischemic tissue, reduce potential difference increases time Na+ channels are inactivated, allows for IB binding. useful for treating ischemia-induced ventricular arrhythmia.
