Heart Failure Drugs Flashcards
What are the ACE Inhibitors?
“-Prils”
Captopril
Lisinopril
Enalapril
Benazepril
What are the Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARB’s)?
“-Sartans”
Losartan

Candesartan
(We also add Valsartan/Sacubitril into this group)
What are the Beta Blockers we can use?
Carvedilol
to a lesser extent Labetalol
What is the drug we can use that “disrupts Funny current to prolong diastole and slow HR – and are at maximally tolerated doses of Beta Blockers, or are contraindicated for use of Beta Blockers?
Ivabradine
What is the Competitive Antagonist of Aldosterone Receptors we can use?
(a K sparing Diuretic)
Spironolactone
to a lesser extent Eplerenone
What are the Diuretics we use?
(Loop Diuretics)
Furosemide
Torsemide
Bumetanide
(K-sparing)
HCTZ
Chlorothiazide/Chlorothalidone
Metolazone
What are the Vasodilators we use?
Isosorbide Dinitrate
Hydralizine
Nitroglycerin
Nitroprusside
(BiDil – used specifically in AA)
What drug do we use to inhibit Na/K ATPase pump in Myocardial cells? (Cardiac Glycosides)
Digoxin
What are the Sympathomimetics (Alpha/Beta Agonists) that we can use?
Dobutamine (B1)
Dopamine (D1 – than A, and Beta1)
What is the Selective PDE Type III inhibitor used?
Milrinone
Which drug do we use to Reduce Fluid Vole (reduce Preload and Afterload)
Thiazine and Loop Diuretics
What drug do we use for reducing synthesis of angiotensin II and preventing remodeling?
ACE Inhibitors (Prils)
What drugs do we use to reduce effect of Angiotensin II at receptor and preventing remodeling?
ARBS (Sartans)
What drug do we use to inhibit the effect of aldosterone?
Spironolactone
What drug do we use for direct cardio tonic effect?
Digitalis (Digoxin)
What drug do we use to reduce sympathetics effect, and prevent remodeling, and prevent arrhythmias?
Beta Blockers
What drug do we use to reduce after load and preload?
Vasodilators
