Vaughn-Williams Classification Based on cellular properties of normal His-Purkinje cells Classified on drug's ability to block specific ionic currents i.e. Nat, K+, Catt) and beta-adrenergic receptors Advantages: Physiologically based Highlights beneficial/deleterious effects of specific drugs
Vaughn-Williams Classification • Based on cellular properties of normal His-Purkinje cells • Classified on drug’s ability to block specific ionic currents (i.e. Na+ , K+ , Ca++) and beta-adrenergic receptors • Advantages: – Physiologically based – Highlights beneficial/deleterious effects of specific drugs

Arrhythmia Types Slow Fast Fast wide Fast narrow oo fast
Arrhythmia Types • Slow • Fast Fast wide Fast narrow Too fast
Arrhythmia-focused Therapy Fast Narrow Supraventricular tachycardias Re-entry type OrthodromiC SVT Automatic AET Atrial Flutter JET
Arrhythmia-focused Therapy • Fast Narrow • Supraventricular tachycardias – Re-entry type • Orthodromic SVT – Automatic • A.E.T. , Atrial Flutter • J.E.T
Arrhythmia-focused Therapy Fast wide (rare) Antidromic SVT or SVT with abberancy Ventricular tachycardia Inappropriate automaticity of ventricular or His-Purkinje tissue
Arrhythmia-focused Therapy • Fast Wide – (rare) Antidromic SVT or SVT with abberancy – Ventricular tachycardia • Inappropriate automaticity of ventricular or His-Purkinje tissue
Arrhythmia-focused Therapy Select one antiarrhythmic or a limited group of antiarrhythmics to treat the disorder
