Cardiovascular Drugs Flashcards
Diuretics that act on the Na-K-Cl cotransporter along the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle in the kidney
Diuretics loop
A plants were digoxin were utilized that contains chemicals can increase the strength of heart muscle contractions, change heart rate, and increase heart blood output.
Foxglove
This blood vessels distribute oxygen-rich blood to your body
Artery
Forceful heart contraction
Inotropic
They transport blood, nutrients and oxygen to cells in your organs and body systems
Capillaries
Positive __________ increase the strength of cardiac muscle contraction by increasing the quantity of intracellular calcium available for binding by muscle proteins, by increasing the sensitivity of contractile proteins to calcium
Inotropes
Two organs that make up the Circulatory System
Heart and blood vessels
Types of diuretics that inhibits the apical sodium/chloride transporter in epithelial cells of the distal convoluted tubules to reduce ECF and cardiac output
Diuretics thiazide
drug used to treat heart failure and abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). It helps the heart work better and it helps control your heart rate
Digoxin
A small blood vessel in the microcirculation that allows deoxygenated blood to return from capillary beds to veins.
Venules
Drugs used for patient with elevated blood lipids such as cholesterol, triglycerides and phospholipids
Anti-lipemics Drugs
Drugs that prevent fibrinolysis or lysis of blood clots. They prevent or treat heavy bleeding following surgery and trauma
Anti-fibrinolytic Drugs
