Inotropic Chronotropic survival Na+/K+- ATPase pump Ca2+ contractility K+ Digitalis Hyperkalemia hypokalemia
DOBUTAMINE
(a synthetic catecholamine)
-Pure _____; β1 > β2 > α receptor agonist
-Increase _____

adrenergic intracellular Ca+ PDE intracellular Ca+ intravenous inotropic
DIGOXIN – DRUG INTERACTIONS

- _____ – Pt deteriorates, may present as acute episode of _____ or as lethargy and malaise
- A reduction in _____ tolerance and increasing _____ on exertion
compensated DECOMPENSATED pulmonary edema exercise breathlessness
DIGITALIS – USES
- _____
- atrial _______/_____
- _____ (SVT)

management of heart failure
- NON-PHARMACOLOGIC –
- Reduction of _____ intake
- PHARMACOLOGIC –
- -Drugs that lower mortality
- -_____/_____
- -_____ blockers
- -_____ (or Eplerenone)
- -_____ and Isosorbide nitrate
- Drugs that decrease symptoms but do not lower mortality
- -_____
- -_____

- _____ disturbances (Hypokalemia, Hypercalcemia, Hypomagnesemia)
- Advanced age
- _____ defects ( sinoatrial & AV block)
- Thyroid disease, especially _____
Renal
electrolyte
conduction
hypothyroidism
ACE INHIBITORS /ARBS
ACE inhibitors –
-Recommended for all patients irrespective of _____ status, reduce _____ and _____ through _____
ARBs –
-Are acceptable alternatives in those unable to tolerate ACE inhibitors (cough, angioedema), block type 1_____(___) receptors
blood pressure pre-load after-load vasodilation type 1 angiotensin II AT1 receptors
________ – initially the preload increases, if there is volume overload initially the stroke volume will keep on building up
But after some time this will not occur, stroke volume will go down, heart is starting to fail
_______ – with increase in afterload, stroke volume starts to go down, the vital organs are not getting enough blood, epinephrine is released constricted vessels
starling mechanism
force tension
DOBUTAMINE AND MILRINONE
- _____, for a few days in advanced heart failure
- ++ Sympathetic nervous system including _____ receptors
- This increases heart rate and contractility = _____
- Symptoms improve
- ???Sympathetic ++ was bad in a pathologically diseased heart and will make things worse
- _____ - long term
- _____ term – they relieve symptoms
IV Beta INCREASED CO yes it will Short
collapse- (muscle + pump)
- Heart gives out –

- -Not pumping enough
- _____ increases
- _____ backs up in the system
inside pressure
fluid
