14
Q

digoxin mechanism

A

inhibit Na/K ATPase

improve contractility
AND prolong refractory of AV node

Ca accumulates in myocardium**

Q

toxic digoxin

A

shortened AP - with depolarizing afterpotentials

-premature ectopic beats

AV junctional rhythm, premature ventricular depolarization, bigeminal rhythm, second degree AV block

can deteriorate to fibrillation

also toxic GI affects

20
Q

inamrinone

A

bipyridine

21
Q

milrinone

A

bipyridine

22
Q

bipyridine

A

short term support of circulation of HF

23
Q

bipyridine MOA**

A

inhibit phosphodiesterase isozyme 3 (PDE3)
-increased cAMP

cardiac - stimulated contraction and fast relaxation

vasculature - balances a and v dilation

both mediated by cAMP increases

24
Q

dobutamine

A

beta1 agonist

positive inotropic

used short term**

25
Q

dopamine

A

D1 agonist

26
Q

intermediate dopamine doses

A

beta stimulation

27
Q

high dose dopamine doses

A

constriction of a and v - alpha-adrenergic

28
Q

diuretics

A

loop, thiazide, K-sparing, aldosterone antagonist

only aldosterone antagonists reduce mortality**

29
Q

SIADH

A

give vasopressin

30
Q

conivaptan

A

ADH antagonist

31
Q

tolvaptan

A

selective antagonist of V2 ADH receptors

32
Q

angioedema, cough, hyperkalemia

A

with ACE inhibitors

33
Q

ARBs

A

selectively block AT1 - resulting in beneficial effect of ANGII action at AT2

34
Q

isosorbide dinitrate

A

venodilator

-decreased preload

35
Q

hydralazine

A

arteriolar dilator

-decreased afterload

36
Q

nitroprusside

A

arteriolar and venodilator

-decreased preload and afterload

37
Q

nesiritide

A

given IV
-form of BNP

smooth m relaxation

38
Q

reduce mortality

A

bisoprolol
carvedilol
metoprolol
nebivolol

39
Q

beta blockers and CHF

A

therapy initiated at low doses

40
Q

thiazide and loop diuretics

A

secondary loss of potassium - hazardous with digoxin

-

41
Q

ACE - and ARBs

A

first choice in HF with no edema

42
Q

in african americans who cannot tolerate standard HF therapy

A

hydralazine and isosorbide dinitrate

43
Q

digoxin

A

no effect on mortality

44
Q

improve mortality

A
ACE
ARBs
beta blockers
aldosterone antagonists
hydralazine + nitrate

for chronic HF
-along with diuretics and digoxin

45
Q

Tx for acute HF

A

diuretics, IV vasodilators, beta agonists, bipyridines

46
Q

diuretic

A

get rid of congestive symptoms

47
Q

inotropic agent

A

get rid of low output symptoms

48
Q

spironolactone and eplerenone

A

reduce mortality
