*Lidocaine
*Phenytoin
*Mexiletine
*Tocainide
 
| (Na<sup>+</sup>) channel block (fast association/dissociation)
|
*treatment and prevention during and immediately after Myocardial infarction, though this practice is now discouraged given the increased risk of Asystole
*Ventricular tachycardia
*Atrial fibrillation
 
|-
! Ic
|
|
*Flecainide
*Propafenone
*Moricizine
 
| (Na<sup>+</sup>) channel block (slow association/dissociation)

*Propranolol
*Esmolol
*Timolol
*Metoprolol
*Atenolol
*Bisoprolol
 
| beta blocking<br>Propranolol also shows some class I action
|
*decrease Myocardial infarction mortality
*prevent recurrence of Tachyarrhythmias

K<sup>+</sup> channel blocker
 
Sotalol is also a beta blocker
 
Amiodarone has Class I, II, and III activity
 
|
*In [[Wolf Parkinson White (WPW)]]
*(sotalol:) Ventricular tachycardias and Atrial fibrillation
*(Ibutilide:) Atrial flutter and Atrial fibrillation
 
|-
! IV
| slow-channel blockers
|
*Verapamil
*Diltiazem
 
| Ca<sup>2+</sup> channel blocker
|
*prevent recurrence of Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia
*reduce Ventricular rate in patients with Atrial fibrillation
 
|-
! V
|
|
*Adenosine
*Digoxin
*Magnesium Sulfate
 
| Work by other or unknown mechanisms (Direct nodal inhibition).
| Used in supraventricular arrhythmias, especially in Heart Failure with Atrial Fibrillation, contraindicated in ventricular arrhythmias. Or in the case of Magnesium Sulfate, used in Torsade de Pointe.
