Cardiac effects of cardiac glycosides 2 Flashcards
1
Q
Positive Inotrophic
A
- Increase & streght myocardial contraction
- Inhibits Na/K ATPase
- Useful for <3 failure
2
Q
Negative cromotrophic
A
- Decrease HR
- Useful for tachysistolic (atrial fibrillation)
- Decrease in content of K ions in cardiomyocytes
3
Q
Negative dromotropic
A
- Legthening of diastole, increase energy of cardiomyocytes
- Inhibits Na/K/ATPase
4
Q
Bathmotropic
A
-increase miocardial excitability
