Cardio and Renal 4 Flashcards

Q

What happens in heart failure?

A

Heart fails to pump blood, so heart will dilate (to compensate), which will result in an increased force of contraction

After compensation, the heart fails to compensate further, so it’ll lead to decompensation, decreased contraction, and thus, decreased cardiac output

Q

Decrease Cardiac Output Consequence: Increase Venous Pressure

A

Which leads to

  1. Increased BP, and thus Increased Preload
  2. Increased capillary filtration, leading increased salt and water retention (edema)

Q

Decrease Cardiac Output Consequence: Decreased Renal Blood Flow

A

Which leads to increase Renin-Angiotensin, and then increased Aldosterone, and then ultimately

Increased salt and water retention (edema)

Q

Decrease Cardiac Output Consequence: Decreased BP

A

Which leads to

Increase symps, which leads to increased vasoconstriction, which finally leads to increase afterload

Q

Drugs that Increase Contractility: Digitalis MOA

A

Inhibits Na/K ATPase Pump

Troponin/tropomysin complex form a barrier between actin and myosin

Ca2+ binds to troponin and break the complex

Myosin interacts with actin producing muscle contraction

19
Q

Drugs that Increase Contractility: Digitalis - Direct Effect (5)

A

Inhibits Na/K ATPase pump leading to

Intracellular Na+, which increases Ca2+, causing increased force of contraction

Atria: Decreased APD and ERF (causing arrhythmia)

AV node: Decrease conduction velocity***

Ventricles and Purkinje: Decrease APD and ERP

20
Q

Drugs that Increase Contractility: Digitalis - Indirect Effect (a and b)

A

a. Cholinergic effect through vagal stimulation
Atria: decrease SA node rate
AV node: Increase ERP, decrease velocity
Ventricles and Purkinje: No effect

b. Sympathomimetic Effect (B1)
Atria: INCREASE SA rate
AV node: DECREASE refractory period
Ventricles and Purkinje: Increase conduction velocity and abnormal automaticity

21
Q

What is most commonly prescribed digitalis?

22
Q

Drugs that Increase Contractility: Digitalis - Digoxin Info

A

+ve ionotropic
-ve chronotropic

t1/2: 20-40 hours
Clearance: renal

Protein binding: 25%
Vd: 6.3L/kg

Should be avoided in WPW
