Cardiac Stimulants CHF TX
Cardiovascular Stimulatnt
Aminophylline / Theophylline
Glucagon
Calcium salts
Classify Aminophylline / Theophylline
Methylxanthine Cardiac stimulant
MOA Aminophylline / Theophylline
Phosphodiesterase inhibiton –> increase cardiac contractility
Aminophylline / Theophylline main use
Bronchodilation
Aminophylline / Theophylline other uses
Main use: Bronchodilation
Diuresis
Aminophylline / Theophylline caution
Hypertension
Glucagon & CV?
Cardiac Stimulant
Glucagon MOA
Positive chronotropy & inotropy
Glucagon DOC?
DOC: Ca Channel blocker toxicity
Calcium salts & CV?
Cardiac stimulant
cardioprotective
Calcium Salts TOC?
TOC: emergency tx of hyperkalemia
What type of drugs are used to treat CHF
Positive Inotropes
What do we want to decreased when treatment CFH
Want to decresed compensatory sympathetic tone
List the drugs that can aid in the treatment of CHF
Digoxin (digitalise Glycoside)
Dobutamine (Beta 1 agonist)
Pimobendan (Inodilator Positive inotrope & vasodialtion
What drug is a digitalis glycoside used to treat CHF
Digoxin
MOA of Digoxin
Inhibits Na/K/ATPase
Positive inotrope
Digoxin is the TOC for
Atrial Fibrillation or flutter
Digoxin
Digitalis Glycoside Inhibits Na/K/ATPase Positive inotrope TOC: atrial fibrillation or flutter Adverse --> GI signs Narrow safety margin --> can be toxic
What drug is used to tx atrial fibrillation
Digoxin
What is the number 1 adverse affects we should worry about with Digoxin
GI signs
How is the safety margin of Digoxin
Narrow –> careful of toxicity
long half life does not help
How does Digoxin help CHF
Increased mechanical efficency of failing heart
Potent positive ionotrope
Negative chronotroe
Negative dromotropy
What does negative chronotrope mean?
makes the heart beat slower
What does positive iontrope mean?
Makes the heart beat harder aka more effiecent
What drug is a negative chronotrope & a positive inotrope?
Digoxin
What bea 1 agonist can help CHF
Dobutamine
How common is beta 1 agonist used for CHF aka Dobutamine
Not common
What is dobutamine used for with CHF
Beta 1 agonist
catecholamine used for severe CHF due to mycardial failure
What drug is used as a catecholamine for CHF due to myocardial failure
Dobutamine
What is the MOA of Dobutamine
Beta 1 agonist
What is the inodilator drug used to aid CFH
Pimobendan
Pimobendan MOA
Inodilator drug aka
positive iontrope
vasodilation
What is the mechanism of Pimobendan positve inotrophic effects?
sesitize myocardail contractile apparatus to Ca
Allows for positive inotrophic effects
What is the mechanism of Pimobendan vasodialtion
phosphodiesterase III inhibitor
Allows for vasodilation
What is the TOC for CHF
Pimobendan
