    The document categorizes antiarrhythmic drugs into five classes based on their mechanism of action and indications. Class I drugs are sodium channel blockers that suppress automaticity and conduction. Class IA drugs like procainamide and quinidine prolong refractoriness and decrease conduction. Class 2 drugs are beta-blockers that suppress automaticity and early afterdepolarizations. Class 3 drugs are potassium channel blockers that prolong refractoriness. Class 4 drugs are calcium channel blockers that suppress automaticity, early afterdepolarizations, and delayed afterdepolarizations.
