Q

Digoxin during early response shows electrical changes (4)

A

1 inc PR interval
2 flat T wave
3 slowed ventricular rate

Diuretic that dec mortality in CHF

A

Aldosterone antagonist
Spironolactone
Eplerenone

21
Q

First line drugs that dec morbidity and mortality in CHF

Dec aldosterone sec, salt water ret, vasoconstriction
