loop diuretics
what are the loop diuretics
furosemide, bumetanide, tosemide, ethacrynic acid
how do loop diuretics work
inhibit luminal Na/K Cl cotransporter in TAL of Henle
dec intracell K, dec back diffusion of K.

which drug was most likley prescribed
beta blocker
like metoprolol
describe effects of high and low dose beta blockers
high can antagonize supportive effects of catecholamines and worsen HF
low can slow herat rate, increase Ejection fraction and decrease mortality
what are sprionolactone and plerenone

when are aldosterone antagonists used
on top of ACEI or ARB
not by itself
