B: 14-16 Flashcards
Pharmacotheraputic aims of Manangement of HF
↓ Preload
↓ Afterload
↓ Cardiac muscle remodeling
↑ Contractility (Ionotropic)
What is Preload?
Volume of blood in the ventricles at the end of diastole
Stretch
What is Afterload?
Resistance left ventricle must ovrcome to pump blood
Squeeze
Which drugs can help lower preload?
Diuretics
ACEI
ARB’s
Venodilators
Less blood in the heart system
Which drugs can help lower afterload?
ACEI
ARB’s
Arteriodilators
Which drugs can help increase contractility?
Digoxin
B agonists
PDE-III inhibitors
Which drugs can help lower cardiac muscle remodeling?
ACEI
ARB’s
Spironolactone
B blockers
Help improve survival!
Digoxin is for Acute/chronic management of HF?
Chronic
systolic failure!!
Which diuretics are given in case of HF?
Thiazides: Hydrochlorothiazides
Loop diuretics: Furosemide
K+ sparing agents: Spironolactone
ACE inhibitors which are given in case of HF?
Captopril
Enalapril
Perindopril
ramipril

ARB’s which are given in case of HF?
Losartan
Valsartan
Irbesartan
B blockers which are given in case of HF?
Metoprolol (B1 selective antag.)
Carvedilol (B and a)
Positive iontropic agents
Cardiac glycosides: Digoxin, Digitoxin
Sympathomimetics: Dobutamine
PDE-inhibitor: Milrinone
Cardiac glycosides MOA
Inibition of cadiac Na/K ATPase → Na/Ca exchanger wont work as well → I.C Ca2+ conc. ↑ → increased Ca release from SR → Increased actin-myosin interaction → positive ionotropic (contractility)
Inhibition of neuronal Na/K ATPase → vagal activity ↑ → Negative chronotropic (HR)
AV conduction ↓ → Negative dromotropic (AV conduction)
Digoxin drug properties
Oral: bioavailability 75% Narroe theraputic index Onset of action 0.5-1 h Elimination half life 30-40 h: requires loading dose Renal elimination
Digoxin displacement by which other drugs?
Quinidine
Amiodarone
Verapamil
Digoxin indications
Chronic HF (positive inotropic) systolic failure
Arrhythmias: SVT, A.Fib, A.Flutter ( decreases AV conduction, increases AV refractory period)
Digoxin adverse effects
Hyperkalemia GI ECG changes Conduction blocks Arrhythmias
Predisposing factors for Digoxin toxicity
Renal impairment
Hypokalemia
Hypomangesemia
Hypercalcemia
Treatment for Digoxin toxicity
Correcting electrolyte (Mg , K )
Class Ib: Lidocaine, Phenytoin
digoxin Antibodies (Fab fragment)
Digoxin contraindications
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
AV block
Diastolic HF
WPW syndrome
Digitoxin drug properties
Oral: bioavailability 90%
Onset of action 3-6 h
Elimination half life 5-7 h: requires loading dose
Hepatic metabolism
Digitoxin indications
CHF
Arrhythmias: SVT, A.Fib, A.Flutter
Dobutamin
Tell me about it
B1 selective agonist
Parenteral
Duration is minutes
Dobutamine indications and CI
Acute HF: Systolic function ↑
CI : in chronic treatment due to tolerance, low oral bioava, arrythmogenic effect
PDE inhibitor for the management of AHF?
Milrinone
