Commonly listed under a separate rubric (Class III) are amiodarone and the ?-blocking agent sotalol, which both inhibit K+-channels and which both cause marked prolongation of the AP with a lesser effect on Phase 0 rate of rise.
The effects of the opioids can be abolished by antagonists (e.g., naloxone; A), with the exception of buprenorphine. Mode of action of opioids. Most neurons react to opioids with hyperpolarization, reflecting an increase in K+ conductance. Ca2+ influx into nerve terminals during excitation is decreased, leading to a decreased release of excitatory transmitters and decreased synaptic activity.
