Q

how do loop diuretics work

A

inhibit luminal Na/K Cl cotransporter in TAL of Henle
dec intracell K, dec back diffusion of K.
dec reabsorption Ca and Mg. Inc diuresis

Q

describe effects of high and low dose beta blockers

A

high can antagonize supportive effects of catecholamines and worsen HF

low can slow herat rate, increase Ejection fraction and decrease mortality

16
Q

how do cardiac glycosides work

A

inhibit membrane bound NaK ATPase and increase myocardial contractility

17
Q

does digoxin have effect on mortality

A

no

18
Q

how does digoxin effect Ca

A

increased intracell Ca so pumped into Sarcoplasmic Reticulum because cannot leave cell (concentration gradient gone from blocked Na/K ATPase

19
Q

Why does digoxin have many adverse effects

A

Na/KATPase in every part of body

main areas affected are GI and neuro

20
Q

how does digoxin change action potential

A

brief prolongation of action potential followed by shortening

21
Q

loking at action poetnetials of cardiomyocytes you see oscillatory depolarizing afterpotentnials following normally evoked action potentnials.
what drug toxicity could cause this

A

digoxin

22
Q

how does digoxin change sympathetic tone

A

therapeutic levels decreases sympathetics and increases parasympathetics
toxic levels increases sympathetics

23
Q

how does digoxin affect AV node at therapeutic doses

A

decreases conduction velocity and increases refractory period

24
Q

how does hyperkalemia effect figosxin

A

reduce the effects because hyperkalemia inhibitis abnomral cardiac automaticity

25
Q

which drug an potentiate toxic effects of digoxin

A

furosemide from hypokalemia and hypomagnesia

26
Q

what are the bipyridines

A

inamrinone and milrinone

27
Q

how do bipyridines work

A

prolong relaxation though do increase contractility

28
Q

when are bipyrdines worked

A

acute HF, very short term use

usually used in hospital setting

29
Q

how do bipyridines work

A

inhibit PDE3 which degrades cAMP

30
Q

which drugs increase mortality

A
ACEI
ARBs
Beta blockers
aldosterone antagonists (after MI)
hydralazine with nitrate (african americans)
