11. Appearance of withdrawal sx

33
Q

Effects of aldosterone

A

A

Aldosterone antagonist
CHF drug
Effects: inc Na excretion, dec fibrosis
AE: hyperkalemia, gynecomastia

35
Q

Eplerenone

A

Aldosterone antagonist
CHF drug
More selective for aldosterone inhibitors (less gynecomastia)

36
Q

Function of diuretics in treating CHF?

A

Reduce preload and cardiac size by decreasing plasma volume

37
Q

Function of ACE-i, ARBs and ARNIs in treating CHF?

A

Dec afterload by reducing peripheral resistance

Dec preload by reducing aldosterone secretion

38
Q
