    treating ventricular arrhythmias but not for supraventricular tachycardia
  29. How doesl Diltilizam work? What type of drug is it?
    Ca channel blocker, slows the heart by blocking the channels. slow conduction down the AV node and decrease ventricular rate in SVT
  30. Atenolol is what type of drug and how does it effect the heart?
    Slows downthe heart by blocking beta adrenergic stimulation to the heart. slow conduction down the AV node and decrease ventricular rate in SVT
  31. How does carotid sinus massage and vagal stimuli slow the heart?
    slows AV node conduction by activation of vagal afferents innervating the AV node
  32. This is a cholinesterase inhibitor which has be used to reverse neuromuscular blockers
    Edrophonium
  33. Pancuronium, d-tubocurarine, and atracurium are what?
    compared to succinylcholine?
    non deploarizing neuromusclular blocking agents where succinyl is a depolarizing.
