Q

consequences of hyperadrenergic state

A

Long term: leads to irreversible myocyte damage, cell death & fibrosis

  1. The augmentation in peripheral vasomotor tone increases LV afterload
  2. this places added stress upon the LV and an increase in myocardial O2 demand (ventricular remodeling)

The frequency and severity of cardiac arrhythmias are enhanced in the failing heart

Q

arteriolar vasodilators names & consequences

A

arteriolar vasodilators decrease after load

  1. hydrallazine
  2. calcium channel blockers: amlodipine &nifedipine

Q

ACEI MOA & effects

A

MOA: inhibits ACE–>reduces formation of angiotensin II

Effects:

  1. decreases preload
  2. decreases after load
  3. decreases aldosterone secretion
  4. increases CO
  5. decreases cardiac remodeling
