26
Q

moa sacubitril

A

Neprilysin inhibitor that degrades ANP and BNP; they reduce blood volume

27
Q

Dec cardiac workload: Entresto

se

A

SE: hyperkalemia and angioedema

28
Q

Dec cardiac workload: Entresto

contra

A

Contra: dont use with Aliskiren

29
Q

Dec cardiac workload: Entresto

caution

A

Cautionary: can cause fetal harm

30
Q

Dec cardiac workload: Entresto

bbw

A

BBW: dc when pregnant

31
Q

Dec cardiac workload: Entresto

pregnancy

A

Pregnancy: not listed as a letter but avoid using it

32
Q

Dec cardiac workload: Corlanor

moa

A

MOA: If ion current expressed in the SA node; regulates pacemaking activities in the SA node by selectively inhibiting If current which slows the HR and give blood more time to get to the myocardium; reduces HR w/o loss of contractility

33
Q

Dec cardiac workload: Corlanor

se

A

SE: Luminous phenomena- sudden changes in brightness of light

34
Q

Dec cardiac workload: Corlanor

contra

A

Contra: resting HR less than 70 bpm

35
Q

Cautionary: most pts on _____ will also be on beta blocker so there is a risk of bradycardia since they both slow the HR

A

Corlandor

36
Q

Dec cardiac workload: Corlanor

pregnancy

A

Pregnancy: may harm fetus; animal studies show birth defects

37
Q

Pts should weigh themselves daily if on this

A

any loop

38
Q

Usually used for heart failure not HTN

A

loop

39
Q

Usually for ppl with type 2 DM

A

farxiga

40
Q

Farxiga moa

A

MOA: inhibits sodium glucose co transporter 2 (SGCT-2) in the proximal renal convoluted tubule. It reduces intravascular volume through osmotic diuresis and natriuresis which reduces preload and afterload improving LV function.

41
Q

Farxiga se

A

SE: UTI, yeast infections, Nec fasc of perineum AKA fournier’s gangrene

42
Q

Farxiga contra

A

Contra: renal impairment eGRF<30

43
Q

ONLY used in systolic HF

A

digoxin

44
Q

digoxin is a ____ inotropic drug

A

+

45
Q

digoxin has a ____ therapeutic index

A

NARROW

46
Q

Half life of 36-40 hrs

A

digoxin

47
Q

digoxin moa

A

MOA: normally Na K pump does 3Na out and 2K in. Digoxin inhibits this so Na builds up in the myocardium. The Na Ca pump normally does 3Na in and 1 Ca out.The build up of Na reverses the Na Ca pump. This leads to inc contractility of the heart

48
Q

digoxin se

A

SE: cardiac arrhythmias, visual disturbances (yellow or blurred vision… think Van Gogh), anorexia

49
Q

digoxin contra

A

Contra: VF

50
Q

digoxin preg

A

Pregnancy: drug enters breast milk so use with caution

51
Q

digoxin caution

A

Cautionary: more effective with hypokalemia so hypokalemia inc risk of toxicity. Don’t give to someone with renal disease

52
Q

Acute decompensated HF (ADHF) used to be known as

A

CHF

53
Q

ADHF caused by

A

Volume overload
Hypoperfusion
Both

54
Q

when pts are in hypotension and low CO

A

Cardiogenic shock-

55
Q

Sodium nitroprusside

moa

A

MOA: breaks down NO which relaxes smooth muscle and dilates arteries

56
Q

Sodium nitroprusside

se and BBW

A

SE and BBW: hypotension

57
Q

Nitroglycerin (NTG)

moa

A

MOA: converted to NO which causes relaxation and vasodilation in veins

58
Q

Nitroglycerin (NTG)

se

A

SE: hypotension and HA (MAJOR)

59
Q

Nitroglycerin (NTG)

contra

A

Contra: recent use PDE 5 bc they can cause dangerously low hypotension

60
Q

moa dopamine

A

MOA: direct alpha and beta adrenergic effect; at low doses (1-5 mcg/kg/min) stimulates dopamine receptors in the kidneys to inc blood flow and inc urine output

61
Q

dobutamine MOA

A

MOA: beta 1 agonist inc CO

62
Q

milrinone moa

A

MOA: inhibition of PDE 3 causing vasodilation

63
Q

Drugs that DONT dec mortality:

A

Diuretics
+ inotropes
nitrates/vasodilators

64
Q

Drugs that DO dec mortality:

A

ACE/ARBs
Beta blockers
Entresto
