Cruthirds Flashcards
Vasopressin
Increase water reabs
Increase BP
Vasoconstriction
Aldosterone
Increase na+ and water reabs
Increase BP
Secretes k+
Spiromolactone
Aldosterone antagonist Potassium sparing diuretic Decrease sodium and water reabs Decrease BP Increase potassium
Heart failure
Progressive clinical syndrome
Abnormality in the structure or function that impairs the ability of the ventricle to contract or eject blood
In heart failure is the heart meeting the metabolic demand?
No bc cardiac output is low
Heart failure compensation occurs when?
Sns and raas is activated
SMS activation in heart failure
Activate beta 1 and alpha 1 causing increase co, increase hr, increase contraction, increase pressure, increase vasoconstriction, increase ne release
Raas activation in heart failure
Ang 2 vasoconstrictor that increases map
Aldosterone increases sodium and water reabs increase bv, increase preload, increase FOC
Digoxin is a ?
Cardiac glycoside
What’s the critical component for contraction of all muscle cells?
Calcium
Calcium role in cardiac myocytes
Tropinin C binds calcium which results in a conformational change exposing the actin binding site on the myosin filament allowing cross bridge formation
Sodium movement is tied with what?
Calcium movement
Scra pump
Moves calcium into scarp plasmid reticulum
MOA of digoxin
Inhibits the sodium-potassium ATPase on cardiac myocytes
Increases sodium conc
Increases calcium in the cell
Where does intracellular calcium get moved to?
Scarce plastic reticulum
What will happen to heart failure patients on digoxin?
Increase contraction because more calcium In sarcoplasmic reticulum
Increases pumping ability
Beneficial for heart failure patients
Digoxin acts in what type of manner?
Pns
Digoxin and what binds near the same site on the sodium potassium ATPase pump?
Potassium
Effect of potassium on digoxin activity
Increase potassium then decrease digoxin activity
At therapeutic doses what is the effect that digoxin exhibits?
Vagiometic effect allowing digoxin to slow av node- good for a fib pts
Norm baroreceptor reflex is getting activated frequently, digoxin lowers the sensitivity so it’s not being constantly activated
Clearance and secretion of digoxin
Cleared renally
Secreted by PGP
Digoxin has good absorption where?
Gi tract
Half life of digoxin
36 hrs
Digoxin have a wide or narrow therapeutic range?
Narrow
ADR of digoxin
N/v Vision disturbances(yellow and green halos) Av node block Ventricular arrhythmias Fatigue
Drug interactions with Digoxin
Hyper or hypo kalemia
Beta blockers and non-dhp cause decrease contractility
Macrolide antibiotics- increase bioavailability
Amiodarone, propane one, verapamil, spironolactone increase conc of drug
MOA spironolactone
Potassium sparing
Decrease bv
Decrease BP
Dis in vol overload
