Heart Failure Flashcards
Phosphodiesterase 3 inhibitors
Inamrinone
Milrinone
Decrease cAMP breakdown
Inamrinone
Milrinone
Inamrinone and milrinone effects
Vasodilation
Dec peripheral vascular resistance
INCREASE CARDIAC CONTRACTILITY
Applications of Inamrinone and Milrinone
Acute DECOMPENSATED heart failure

Natriuretic Peptides
If Inamrinone and Milrinone dec cAMP breakdown, Nesiritide?
Directly increases cGMP by activating BNP receptors
Nesiritide effects other than Vasodilation?
Diuresis
Drugs that are used without reducing mortality
Nesiritide
Digoxin
Nesiritide ROA and duration
