varied: ~changes in fluid balance ~heart rate ~myocardial contractility ~fatigue ~orthostatic hypotension ~headache ~nausea ~cough ~dizziness
Treatment for angina pectoris: special consideration for rehab
patients with stable angina (angina brought on by physical exertion) should have nitroglycerin on hand during therapy sessions; monitor for pain, fatigue, or changes in vital signs
Treatment for CHF: indications
impaired cardiac pumping ability due to decreased cardiac muscle function, fluid overload, or valve deterioration

Treatment for CHF: common brands/ types (4)
~beta blockers ~diuretics ~calcium channel blockers ~Digoxin (from foxglove plant) - stimulates forceful heart muscle contraction.
Antiviral/ Antiretrovirals: adverse reactions (4)
nausea, diarrhea, rash, decreased renal function. Some meds will lower white blood cell count. Many of these meds will interact w/other drugs.
what med is for flu?
Tamaflu
(antiviral/antiretroviral)
Antiviral/ Antiretrovirals are (act)
work by inactivating the enzymes needed for viral replication

Antiviral/ Antiretrovirals
Valomaciclovir (for mononucleosis) is
Antiviral/ Antiretrovirals
Treatment for angina pectoris: common brands
Nitroglycerine, a potent vasodilator. (Beta blockers and calcium channel blockers may also be prescribed to reduce heart’s workload.)
Nitroglycerine is
Treatment for angina pectoris
Antihypertensive are (act)
reduce blood pressure by reducing blood volume (acting as diuretic), reducing arterial pressure (acting as vasodilators, typically ACE inhibitors or calcium channel blockers).

Captopril is
Antihypertensive
Antiviral/ Antiretrovirals: special consideration for rehab
monitor for adverse reactions
Antihypertensive: special considerations for rehab
systemic heat or whirlpool may cause excessive vasodilation; exercise tolerance may be impaired; postural changes may cause orthostatic hypotension
