Amiodarone -
correct answer ✅Class: antiarrhythmic (class III)
MOA: potassium-channel blocker; prolongs refractory period and
dec AV conduction and sinus function. Also has alpha and beta
blocking properties
Other:
HIGH RISK; only use for life-threatening arrythmias
(supraventricular, ventricular); toxicity risk
Apixaban -
correct answer ✅Class: Factor Xa inhibitor (anticoagulant; DOAC)
MOA: inhibits platelet activation and fibrin clot formation -> dec
risk for clots
Other:
risk for bleeding, esp when used in combo with other
anticoagulants, aspirin, fibrinolytics, NSAIDs, SSRIs and SNRIs
