34
Q

What are Tran’s three groupings of HF pts?

A

Before the heart (peripheral edema)

At the heart (HTN)

Decreased CO

35
Q

What are the two drugs that are indicated for stage A HF?

A

ACEI or an ARB

36
Q

What are the three drugs that are indicated for stage B HF?

A

ACEI/ARB and beta blocker

37
Q

When and in what stage are diuretics indicated for HF pts?

A

C, if there is fluid retention

38
Q

When and in what stage are aldosterone antagonists indicated for HF pts?

A

C

Symptomatic LVD/most MI

39
Q

When and in what stage are hydralazine and nitrates indicated for HF pts?

A

C

Symptomatic HF

40
Q

When and in what stage are ARB and ACEIs (together) indicated for HF pts?

A

C

Symptomatic HF

41
Q

When and in what stage is digoxin indicated for HF pts?

A

Symptomatic HF, atrial fibrillation

42
Q

Why are ACEI and ARBs indicated for all HF pts?

A

Decrease cardiac remodeling

43
Q

What are the drugs used to treat type B HF pts?

A

regular meds + positive inotropes

44
Q

What will diuretics do to the ventricular filling pressure needed for each level of stroke volume?

A

Shift along cardiac output curve to a lower value (decreases volume without increasing contractility)

45
Q

What will Inotropic agents do to the ventricular filling pressure needed for each level of stroke volume?

A

Shift the curve up (more output at the same ventricular pressure)

46
Q

What will vasodilators do to the ventricular filling pressure needed for each level of stroke volume?

A

Shift curve up and to the left (more output at less ventricular pressure)

47
Q

What are the two effects of the beta adrenergic receptor activation in the heart on Ca?

A

Increase release, but also increase sequestration

48
Q

What happens to the pattern of myocardial contraction with Ca release via cAMP from beta adrenergic stimulation?

A

Increase slope (rate of contraction)

Increase peak (max contraction force)

Increase rate of relaxation

49
Q

What is lusitropy? What effects do beta receptors activation have on this?

A

ability of the heart to relax

Increases

50
Q

True or false: heart relaxation is an active process

A

True

51
Q

What is the MOA of amrinone?

A

Increases myocardial cAMP

52
Q

What is the MOA of milrinone?

A

Increases myocardial cAMP

53
Q

What is the MOA of isuprel?

A

B1 receptor agonist

54
Q

What is the MOA of dobutamine?

A

B1 receptor agonist

55
Q

What is the MOA of dopamine on the heart?

A

B1 receptor agonist

56
Q

What is the MOA of epi on the heart?

A

B1 receptor agonist

57
Q

A

Trop C

58
Q

What are the four practical approaches to increasing myocardial contractility?

A
  1. Increase cytosolic Ca
  2. Increase myocardial cAMP
    3 Agonism of B1
  3. Increase B1 receptor
59
Q

What is the MOA of digoxin?

A

Inhibits Na/K exchanger, which inhibits Ca from leaving the cell d/t increase [Na] and subsequent/indirect inhibition of Na/Ca exchanger

60
Q

What is the effect on EDV and ESV with digoxin?

A

Decreases

61
Q

What is the effect on pulmonary and systemic venous pressure with digoxin?

A

Decreases

62
Q

What is the interaction of the vagus nerve and digoxin?

A

63
Q

What happens to the PR interval with dig?

A

Increases

64
Q

What happens to the QT interval with dig?

A

Decreases

65
