CHF And Diuretics Flashcards
With reduced mechanical pumping action contractility and reduced ejection fraction
Systolic
Stiffening and loss adequate relaxation
Diastolic
Subjective sign of right ventricular failure
Generalized edema
What is added at anytime to reduce symptoms and prevent hospitalization
Digoxin
What is recommended for patients with sign of congestions
Diuretics
Recommended for patients with advanced HF with or after MI in the presence of symptoms or DM with a low EF or patients with Class 2
Aldosterone antagonist
Bed rest and restricted physical activities are indicated with
Acute exacerbation
May be given in mild chronic failure
Thiazides
What loop diuretics has vasodilation decrease renal vascular resistance
Furosemide
This reduce remodeling and sympathetic excess in chronic HF
ACEi
What drug causes cough and renal damage in the fetus and is contraindicated in pregnant women
ACEi
What beta blockers can prolong life in chronic HF that are given orally
Carvedilol
Metoprolol
This toxicity causes worsening of HF, av blockade, hypotension and sedation
beta blockers
This drug is beta 1 selective agonist that is given parenterally for severe acute HF
Dobutamine
Not beta 1 selective inotrope
Dopamine
