ANTI ARRYTHMIC DRUGS - MNEMONICS

ANTI ARRYTHMIC DRUGS - MNEMONICS

Antiarrhythmic drugs are super tough to memorize.
Good thing is, we can imagine weird things and manage!  :D
This post is about weird drawings and memory aids that will hopefully help you lovely medicos. Here it goes!

Class I A antiarrhythmics mnemonic:
The Queen proclaims dis (this)  pyramid.
For 1 A: Quinidine, Procainamide, Disopyramide.
Queens are royalty, first class people. This helps me remember class 1 A as well.


I also think A for active and active people have potential for more duration, associating the fact that class I A drugs prolong action potential duration.


Class I B mnemonic:
I Buy Lidy's Mexican tacos.
For 1 B: Lidocaine, Mexiletine, Tocainamide.


Again, I think of B for Bored, not active people; have less or reduced potential. Associating the fact that the class I B drugs decrease action potential duration. 

Class I C mnemonic:
Can I have More Fries Please?
For 1 C: Moricizine, Flecainide, Propafenone.


Class II mnemonic:
They are beta blockers. Ends with a lol....Propanolol , Atenolol , Metoprolol.

Class III mnemonic:
I but.. Am sota (sort of) bretting (betting) on dofu (tofu), K (okay)?
Class 3: Ibutilide, Amiodarone, Sotalol, Bretylium, Dofetilide.
K to remember Potassium channels.


"No bad boy keeps clean."
Is a good mnemonic for Na, Beta, K, Ca blockers.
That's all!

  1. My life is beautiful thanks to you, Mein Helfer. Lord Jesus in my life as a candle light in the darkness. You showed me the meaning of faith with your words. I know that even when I cried all day thinking about how to recover, you were not sleeping, you were dear to me. I contacted the herbal center Dr Itua, who lived in West Africa. A friend of mine here in Hamburg is also from Africa. She told me about African herbs but I was nervous. I am very afraid when it comes to Africa because I heard many terrible things about them because of my Christianity. god for direction, take a bold step and get in touch with him in the email and then move to WhatsApp, he asked me if I can come for treatment or I want a delivery, I told him I wanted to know him I buy ticket in 2 ways to Africa To meet Dr. Itua, I went there and I was speechless from the people I saw there. Patent, sick people. Itua is a god sent to the world, I told my pastor about what I am doing, Pastor Bill Scheer. We have a real battle beautifully with Spirit and Flesh. Adoration that same night. He prayed for me and asked me to lead. I spent 2 weeks and 2 days in Africa at Dr Itua Herbal Home. After the treatment, he asked me to meet his nurse for the HIV test when I did it. It was negative, I asked my friend to take me to another nearby hospital when I arrived, it was negative. I was overwhite with the result, but happy inside of me. We went with Dr. Itua, I thank him but I explain that I do not have enough to show him my appreciation, that he understands my situation, but I promise that he will testify about his good work. Thank God for my dear friend, Emma, I know I could be reading this now, I want to thank you. And many thanks to Dr. Itua Herbal Center. He gave me his calendar that I put on my wall in my house. Dr. Itua can also cure the following diseases ... Cancer, HIV, Herpes, Hepatitis B, Inflammatory Liver, Diabetis, Bladder Cancer,Colorectal Cancer,HPV,Breast Cancer,Kidney Cancer,Leukemia,Lun,Fribroid,Infertility,Parkinson's disease,Inflammatory bowel disease ,Fibromyalgia, recover your ex.
