Q

What cats are at highest risk of HCM

A

Male, older, loud systolic murmur
Most are nonpedigree, but Maine Coon, Ragdoll, British shorthair, Persian, bengal, sphinx, Norwegian forest cat, Birman breeds predisposed

Q

What receptors and where have a permissive effect of SNS activation under RAAS in CHF?

A

Beta receptors in macula densa

increase SNS –> renin release –> increase AGII, catecholamine release

16
Q

Where does furosemide work and how

A

Loop diuretic – thick ascending loop of henle
Impairs activity of NaK2Cl cotransporter
No effect on carbonic anhydrase, does not antagonize aldosterone

17
Q

What happens when you give thiazide after giving furosemide?

A

Distal tubule will hypertrophy and become hyperactive in the setting of loop diuretic –> sequential nephron blockade leads to progressive increases in Na depletion (affects DCT)

18
Q

Where does thiazide work

A

Distal tubules
MOA: interferes transport of Na ions across renal tubular epithelium

19
Q

MOA digoxin

A

Inhibits Na/K ATPase
Increases Ca entry into cell = weak + inotrope
Decrease SA firing and AV conduction (negative chronotrope)
Prolongs refractory period

20
Q

MOA pimobendan

A

Calcium sensitizer and inhibition of phosphodiesterase III (PDE-III)
Positive inotrope
Make myofilaments more sensitive to Ca so we get increase contractility without increasing the Ca

21
Q

Tx of AFIB

A

Digoxin
Diltiezam - #1
Beta blockers - worsens CHF
