This pharmacology lecture covers topics such as pathophysiology of hypertension, regulation of blood pressure, cardiac output, systemic vascular resistance, baroreceptors, alpha & beta receptors, vasoconstriction, vasodilation,… Read more »
ANTIARRHYTHMIC DRUGS
Antiarrhythmics are drugs that are used to treat abnormal rhythms of the heart, such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, ventricular tachycardia, and ventricular fibrillation. In general, antiarrhythmic drugs work by suppressing abnormal impulse formation, suppressing abnormal impulse conduction, or prolonging effective refractory periods. This pharmacology lecture covers topics such as cardiac conduction system: SA node,… Read more »
