Do you mean anti arrhythmic drugs? I've never heard the term "ECG drugs". Once again Wikipedia should not be your primary source for studying anything of value.

Go to a library and borrow a pharmacology text. Use prefixes & suffixes and study drug classes. Even drug guides are often grouped by drug class.

There is no need to memorize every single drug, especially to prepare for the NCLEX.

Look at classes such as beta blockers, ACE, calcium channel blockers, ACLS protocol drugs, etc. there are commonalities in the generic names.
