Antiarrythmic Drugs Part 1: The Physiology of Heart Rhythm

With some understanding of drugs that manipulate cardiovascular function, let's start to look at heart rhythm. Many drugs are focused on this, but before we dive into those, how does the heartbeat work? How does the body ensure a rhythmic heartbeat so as to supply the body with oxygenated blood? Let's get some basic information!

    Thank you Dave. I have a pharmacology exam on the cardiovascular/renal drugs and this video (and others) are helping me understand the MOA a lot better 🙏.

    My Arrhythmia was so drastic that 17 years ago they did what they called a double-lasso pulmonary vein ablation - over 6 hours of burning. OK for a while. This year it "failed" and it was pretty horrible. Took three days in hospital to stabilize enough to send me home to get drugged up enough for the Chryo-balloon ablation (not for pussies) - followed by a couple of weeks of full-blown hell to gradual improvement to complete stability (6 weeks now - better than before the failure - doing a 5K tomorrow, age 78).

    Sometimes I click on Dave's videos when I know it's a tutorial just so I can listen to the 🎶 intro jingle 🎶. I like to harmonize with it. Today I went with the lower octave 💙🎶

    Not sure if you’ve done more videos about topics like this, but if you ever happen to have an interest in teaching about normal drugs and their safety/efficacy(?), I come from a highly conservative/religious household that demonized all forms of mental health drugs, pain meds, etc. much love thanks for the content!

    All I heard was: Transistor/capacitor switch controlled through a Zener diode and rectifier system to control microelectronic pulses at a predetermined frequency.
