IA Moderately slow conduction, moderately prolonged duration of action potential–active in atria, ventricles; most cardiotoxic group

IB Minimally slowed conduction, shortened duration of action potential–active in atria; greatest potential for proarrhythmias
Examples Lidocaine, mexiletine, tocainamide, phenytoin
IC Markedly slowed conduction, minimally duration of action potential–active in atria, ventricles; most effective group
Examples Flecainide, encainide, propafenone, moricizine
Class II Beta blockers–active in AV nodes, ventricles; virtually no proarrhythmic effect
Class III Potassium-channel blockers; prolonged duration of action potential
Examples Amiodarone, bretylium, sotalol, ibutilide
