Heart Failure Drugs Flashcards
spironolactone effects
K+ sparing diuretic - blunts ability of aldosterone to promote Na+/k+ exchange
spironolactone MOA
competitive antagonist of aldosterone receptors
spironolactone clinical app
- counteracts K+ loss induced by other diuretics - tx of primary aldosteronism
toxicities of spironolactone
- hyperkalemia - amenorrhea, hirsutism, gynecomastia, impotence
furosemide MOA
blocks NaKCCl2 transporter in thick ascending loop
furosemide effects
increased excretion of water, sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium, Ca2+
furosemide clinical app
- edema - decreases preload - rapid dyspnea relief - HTN - ACUTE DECOMPENSATED HEART FAILURE
toxicities of furosemide
- hypokalemia - hyponatremia - hypocalcemia - hypomagnesemia - hyperglycemia - hyperuricemia
hydrochlorothiazide MOA
blocks Na/Cl cotransporter in distal convoluted tubule
hydrochlorothiazide effects
increases urinary excretion of sodium and water, potassium, and magnesium
hydrochlorothiazide clinical app
- HTN - edema
toxicities of hydrochlorothiazide
- orthostatic hypotension - hypokalemia - hypomagnesemia - hyponatremia - hypochloric metabolic alkalosis
digoxin MOA
inhibits Na/K ATPase in myocardial cells
digoxin effects
- suppression of AV conduction - increased contractility - positive inotropic event but decreased ventricular rate
digoxin clinical app
control of ventricular respones rate in chronic atrial fib - heart failure
