Inotropic Drugs Flashcards
Diuretics Class
Diuretics
Bisoprolol, carvedilol, sustained release metoprolol Class
_-blockers
Digoxin (Lanoxin) Class
Cardiac glycoside
Dobutamine (Dobutrex) Class
_1 receptor agonist
Milrinone (Primacor) Class
Phosphodiesterase IIIa inhibitor
Nesiritide (Natrecor) Class
Synthetic BNP
Diuretics MOA
Decrease volume and preload
Bisoprolol, carvedilol, sustained release metoprolol MOA
Blocks high circulating levels of catecholamines
Digoxin (Lanoxin) MOA
Inhibits Na/K/ATPase (increases contractility d/t more Ca); increases vagal activity to heart (reduces SA firing rate, conduction through AV node)
Dobutamine (Dobutrex) MOA
Positive inotrope and chronotrope
Milrinone (Primacor) MOA
Inhibits cAMP breakdown
Diuretics SE
Causes neurohormonal activation
Digoxin (Lanoxin) SE
Very narrow therapeutic-toxic window (mostly arrhythmias)
Dobutamine (Dobutrex) SE
Quick acting, but can develop tachyphylaxis after 48 hours
Milrinone (Primacor) SE
Increased hypotensive and atrial arrhythmia events acutely. 2 month mortality nearly 50% higher than placebo
