The following drugs affect heart rate. Go online to find out their mechanism of action and hypothesize how they affect R-R interval, P-R interval and Q-T interval.
1) BETA BLOCKER'S
RR Interval if the beta blockers increase as a result of slow heart beat and contraction
they have a specific negative dromotropic effect and lengthen PR interval .
QT interval may be shortened ,not compulsory
2) caffine
RR Interval when caffine taken will slightly elevate ,not much significant
PR Interval is not affected
QT Interval does not change
3)Calcium channel blockers
RR Interval is evidently increase as a result of slow contraction and beat
PR Interval become prolonged in Calcium channel blockers intake due to negative dromotropic effect
QT Interval shortened
