Pharmacology of Anti-Arrhythmic Drugs | Dr. Shikha Parmar

Heart arrhythmia, also known as irregular heartbeat or cardiac dysrhythmia, is a group of conditions where the heartbeat is irregular, too slow, or too fast. Arrhythmias are broken down into Slow heartbeat: bradycardia. Fast heartbeat: tachycardia. Irregular heartbeat: flutter or fibrillation.

Symptoms of arrhythmias include

(1) Fast or slow heartbeat
(2) Skipping beats
(3) Lightheadedness or dizziness
(4) Chest pain
(5) Shortness of breath
(6) Sweating

Straight home run from the bat.. This is best VDO u need to pass ur cardiology topic. This VDO is of the highest quality in content and presentation. Thanks a lot

Thanks Dr. Shikha, Your videos are always helpful and i just wanted to thank you for putting the effort to create them :D

Very easy undersanding, Excellent job mam❤️ please make more videos

[onyaguchinyere]

Thank you ma i always watch your video before reading any topic in pharmacology. Keep up with the good work.
You teach with my school curriculum

Really very nice explanation 😊
Thank you ma’am .

34:57 Why does the repolarization curve for Class 1C match with the repolarization curve before antiarrhythmic drug given (i.e. normal heart action potential curve)? We know the Y-axis represents time. And the starting point of depolarization curves for Class 1A, 1B, 1C are all same. In the graph; in case of class 1C the depolarization curve reaches peak most lately (in comparison to other depolarization curves). In addition, if plateau phase starts from that point, shouldn’t the repolarization curve for class 1C finish later? So how does that make no change in action potential duration?

P.S. Y-axis should read X-axis.

Thanku for sharing this topic which is very complex to understand just by reading in the book ur vedio made to understand very much..The way u explained is just wow ..thanku very much Dr

Mam as you have put Sotalol in class II but it has potassium blocker properties also? Do sotalol is safe to be used on opd basis for an elderly fit and fine persion having assymtomatic aFib. Do there is no risk of torsade from Sotalol use? Kindly brief about it. Thanks.

Mam plz can you tell me the name of the book 📖???

[riteshchaurasia]

Is it necessary that if there is decrease in effective refractory period then there isrolongation of action potential duration

[riteshchaurasia]

Is it necessary if there prolongation of ERP then there isrolongation of action potential duration

[kokilae]

Torsade de point is twisting of peaks but when do Q-T interval prolong mam

Mam overall session is excellent in terms of understanding the basics of arrhythmias right from there pathology and using graphs in each class of drugs but mam there is less content in aspect of drugs like it's adverse effects, indications, interactions etc.
