    Fast Sodium ChannelsResponsible for Depolarization

    IK1 Inward Rectifying Potassium channel-High resting K+ Permeability

    -Responsible for -90mv resting potential

    ThresholdDiastolic Depolarization (DD) Decrease in K+ eux through Ikr + Iks channels -in Slow Response Fibers these progressivly close during DD Increase permeability to Sodium Sodium enters through If channels that open at -60mv Increase permeability to calcium L-type begin to open as membrane approaches threshold

    Sodium Channel BlockerSlows rate of depolarizationSlows conduction VelocityTreats V-tach + A-b

    Potassium Channel BlockerActs on IKr + IKsProlong the duration of APTreats: V-tach + A-Fib

    Calcium Channel BlockerSuppresses activity of SA + AV node (Depolarization caused by calcium channels)-Slows rate of diastolic depolarization = slower HRTreats: Arrhythmias due to early and late afterpolarizaitonsAlsoDecreases cardiac contractility + SVR so used to treat Angina + Hypertension

    Phase 0: Depolarization

    Fast Sodium ChannelsReset to resting congurationas membrane potentialgoes from -50 -> -90mv

    CC: pathological conditions existmembrane potentia does not repolarizeenough and inactivation gate does not reset, ber assumes SlowResponse characteristics

    Inward rectifying Potassium ChannelCloses during Deplarization

    Ik1 reopens at -40mvand contributes to lastphase of repolarization
