CHF Flashcards
Aldosterone ags
Rx
- spironolactone ALDACTONE
* eplerenone INSPRA
ACEI
Rx
- catopril
* enelapril
ARBs
Rx
- Candesartan
* Valsartan
BBlocker
Rx
Carvedilol
Metoprolol
Funny channel blocker
Rx
Ivabradine CORLANOR
Combined vasodilators
Rx
*isosorbide dinitrate/ hydralazine BIDIL
Phosphodiesterase Inhibitor
Rx
Milrinone PRIMACOR
RAAS axis
Rx
ALDOSTERONE ANTAG
*spironolactone, eplerenone
ACEI
*Captopril, enalapril
ARB
*candesartan, valsartan
ARNI
*sacubitril/valsartan ENTRESTO
DOWN adverse remodeling
Rx
BBLOCKER
*carvedilol, metoprolol
DOWN HR
FUNNY CHANNEL BLOCKER
*ivabradine CORLANOR
UP CONTRACTILITY
PHOSPHODIESTERASE INHIBITORS
*milrinone PRIMACOR
CARDIAC GLYCOSIDE
Digoxin
Angiotensin receptor - neprolysin inhibitor (ARNI)
Sacubitril/valsartan ENTRESTO
Cardiac glycoside
digoxin
Heart failure with REDUCED EJ
- systolic dysfunction
* Down systolic, up Diastolic
Heart failure with PRESERVED ejection fraction
- Diastolic dysfunction
* Down systolic, Down diastolic
What compensation causes remodeling?
Chronic B1 receptor + Ang II receptor
Goals
Decrease preload, decrease afterload, increase contractility
Most common HF
Systolic = caused by HTN (volume overload)
Diuretics
Mech
- thiazide
- loop
K depleting
*REDUCE PRELOAD = relieve pulmonary congestion
RAAS system
Effect
- UP Blood volume (Preload)
- UP BP (Afterload)
- Fibrosis (aldosterone)
DOWN RAAS]
Rx
- SYMPA = Bblocker
- ACE = ACEI
- ANG II = ARB (vasodilation)
- DOWN FIBROSIS = Spironolactone (+pee Na, keep K)
Spironolactone
ALDACTONE
- DOWN morbidity+mortality
- Aldosterone antag = UP Na excretion
- Protect from fibrosi
- high dose= diuretic
- UP K (monitor)
- W/ Digoxin = AV block
- block progesterone/androgen receptors = gynecomastia
Eplerenone
INSPRA
- like spironolactone
* More selective for aldosterone receptor = less gynecomastia
RAAS system Rx
Effects
ACEI, ARB, ARNI *DOWN afterload *DOWN preload *Protect against adverse remodeling *K+ retention (monitor electrolytes) *DOWN GFR (ang ii efferent arteriole) = mild/moderate renal failure good (ACEI) *monitor: K, kidney function (Cr/BUN) WARNING: DEAD BABY
