Drugs: Cardio Flashcards
Digoxin Use
HF, a. fib
inc contractility, dec conduction @ AV node and depress SA node
Ezetimibe AE
diarr, inc Liver function Test
Procainamide MOA
class IA Antiarryth
Fibrates AE
myopathy (inc risk with statins)
cholesterol gallstones
Digoxin MOA
- inhibit Na/K ATPase to inhibit Na/Ca exhanger causing inc IC Ca and inc ionotropy
- stim vagus nerve to dec HR
Nitrate Use
angina, acute coronary syndrome, pulm edema
BB OD tx
