17
Q

what occurs if BP decreases

A

less carotid sinus baroceptor to CNS, decrease in vagal outflow, increase in sympathetic outflow, increase heart rate and vasoconstriction

18
Q

what are the 3 causes of heart failure

A

infarct, ischemia, increased pressure or volume load

19
Q

what are signs of heart failure

A

reflex tachycardia
enlarged heart
oedema
dyspnea
elevated venous pressure
swollen ankles
swollen neck veins

20
Q

how does failure to pump affect sympathetic outflow?
how does this effect glomerular filtration?

A

increased
decreased

21
Q

what does enhances sympathetic outflow lead to

A

circulatory congestion

22
Q

what causes enlarged neck veins

A

pooling of blood in venous side of circulation

23
Q

how does sympathetic outflow affect venous pressure

A

increased

24
Q

what does increased venous pressure result in

A

fluid expelled from blood = edema and dyspnea

25
Q

what is the term for an enlarged and inefficient heart

A

maladaptive hypertrophy

26
Q

what are the 3 key ways to treat heart failure

A

enhance contracitilty
reduce fluid intake and increase fluid loss
reduce cardiac workload

27
Q

what cardiac glycoside is useful in treating HF

A

digoxin

28
Q

what are the 3 benefits of using cardiac glycosides in chronic EF

A

positive inotropic
negative chronotropic
edema reduced

29
Q

is arterial BP preserved with the use of cardiac glycosides

A

yes

30
Q

where do cardiac glycosides have indirect effects

A

supraventricular tissue
baroceptors
vagal tone

31
Q

where do cardiac glycosides have direct effects

A

purkinje fibres
ventricular myocardium

32
Q

where do cardiac gylcosides have effects

A

SA AV purkinje and ventricles

33
Q

how do cardiac glycosides effect vagal outflow

A

increased

34
Q

how do cardiac glycosides affect purkinje fibres

A

automaticity anf excitabilty

35
Q

how do cardiac glycosides affecrt ventricles

A

(+ ) INOTROPIC

36
Q

how can cardiac glycosides cause problems in the AV node

A

AV block

37
Q

what are catecholamine positive inotropic agents?

A

dopamine and dobutamine

38
Q

what receptor for dopamine and dobutamine act on

A

beta 1

39
Q

what effect do phosphodiesterase inhibitors

A

positive inotropic

40
Q

how do phosphodiesterase inhb=itors increase contracility

A

inhibit breakdown of cAMP, increased Ca through L, increased contractility

41
Q

what are the two phosphodiesterase inhibitors

A

amrinone and milrinone

42
Q

what is one more class of drug that has positive inotropic effects

A

changes to angiotensin II

43
Q

what is the SGLT2 inhibitor of interest

A

empagliflozin
