CHF DRugs Flashcards
1
Q
Dopamine
A
Vasconstrictor. Cardiac Stimulator.
2
Q
Dobutamine
A
Increases contractility and HR. Used to maintain systemic perfusion.
3
Q
Epi
A
Increases HR. Vasocontriction and dilation depending on tissue
4
Q
Inamrinone (Amrinone)
A
Increases cardiac contractions
5
Q
Digoxin
A
Increases contractility. Suppresses AV node in SVT, increases refractory period. Decreases HR, increases BP.
6
Q
ARBs
A
-sartans. Blocks binding of angiotensin and therefore ability to induce vasoconstriction.
7
Q
ACEi
A
-prils. Blocks production and binding of angiotensine and therefore vasoconstriction.
