Diuretics and RAAS Antagonists Use in HF Flashcards
what is Baroreceptor response
incr sympathetic discharge
short term
what is the RAAS response
incr renin release
Goals of heart failure management with pharmacotherapy (3)
1) reduce congestion with diuretics
2) modulate neurohormonal activation (RAAS antag + Beta blocker)
3) improve flow with vasodilations
regardless of HF Type, ___
ALWAYS CONTROL VOLUME FIRST WITH DIURESIS
Chronic HFrEF
1) beta blocker
2) ACE inhibitor/ARB
3) aldosterone antagonist
4) Hydralazine/ISDN
5) +/- digoxin
6) ICD/CRT
Chronic HFpEF
1) control risk factor (DM, HTN, obesity)
2) control volume
Acute HFrEF
1) IV diuresis
2) nitrate (if BP allow)
3) CPAP/BiPAP (if SOB)
4) Pressors (VERY LOW CO, SHOCK)
Acute HFpEF
1) IV diuresis
2) nitrates (if BP allows)
3) CPAP/BiPAP
first thing with chronic HFpEF, acute HFrEF or HFpEF
IV diuresis/volume control
purpose of diuretics
1) Na/H2O excretion
2) decr intravascu fluid volume
3) decr venous congestion
4) decr dyspnea/edema
effect of diuretics of LVEDP vs. SV curve
shift a given point to the left but staying on the same curve line
Diuretics use
USE FIRST AS NEEDED TO REDUCE congestion
Purpose of diuretics
lower preload, decr Na/H2O retention
which type of diuretics preferred?
loop because of efficacy
can augment with thiazide diuretic
diuretics can be used ___ and ___
chronically and acutely
When do you use ACEI’s
during or after optimization of diuretic therapy
effect of ACEI’s?
1) vasodilation
2) decr aldosterone activation
3) antiremodeling effects
when do you use aldosterone antagonists?
ADDED for LVEF <30% with ACEI/ARB and B-blocker therapy
K+ effect of aldosterone antagonist
1) monitor serum K+ 30 mL/min (K+ sparing)
function of aldosterone antagonist
1) antiremodeling action 2) additional Na+ loss at kidney
2 names of aldosterone antagonists
1) spironolactone - gynecomastia
2) eplernone
where do most diuretics exert their effects?
at luminal (urine surface) of renal cells
What is mechanism of thiazide and furosemide?
interact with membrane transport proteins
which diuretics interact with membrane transport proteins?
thiazide
furosemide
