Pharm Final 9 Flashcards
3 CHF drugs
digoxin
digitoxin
milrinone
CHF
inadequate cardiac output to provide the O2 needed by the body
CHF symptoms
- pulmonary edema and shortness of breath
- decreased exercise tolerance with rapid muscle fatigue
- peripheral edema
- tachycardia
- cardiac hypertrophy
Compensatory mechanisms during CHF include increased HR and increased
peripheral vascular resistance
Compensatory mechanism for CHF is activating the __
RAAS
The 2 main CHF drug categories
inonotrophic agents
non-ionotrophic agents
category of CHF drugs that increase contractility of heart muscle
ionotropic
category of CHF drugs that that includes digoxin
ionotropic
Why are B-blockers questionable as a CHF drug
they slow the HR, which seems like it might increase congestion. But, the idea is that the slower rate will ease that demand on the heart
digitalis glycosides include
digoxin and digitoxin
pharmacologic effects of digoxin and digitoxin
increase cardiac contractility increase conduction velocity decrease heart rate decrease O2 needed by the heart decrease peripheral resistance
pharmacologic effects of digoxin and digitoxin: increase cardiac
contractility
pharmacologic effects of digoxin and digitoxin: increase conduction
velocity
pharmacologic effects of digoxin and digitoxin: decrease heart
rate
pharmacologic effects of digoxin and digitoxin: decrease O2 needed by
the heart
pharmacologic effects of digoxin and digitoxin: decrease peripheral
resistance
toxic effects of digoxin and digitoxin:
cramping bradycardia premature ventricular contractions atrial fibrillation ventricular tachycardia ventricular fibrillation
toxic effects of digoxin and digitoxin: c___
cramping
toxic effects of digoxin and digitoxin: b___
bradycardia
toxic effects of digoxin and digitoxin: premature
premature ventricular contractions
toxic effects of digoxin and digitoxin: atrial
atrial fibrillation
toxic effects of digoxin and digitoxin: ventricular t___
ventricular tachycardia
toxic effects of digoxin and digitoxin: ventricular f___
ventricular fibrillation
treatment of digoxin and digitoxin toxicity:
stop the drug
give potassium
use lidocaine for antiarrhythmia
FAB (digoxin antibody)
treatment of digoxin and digitoxin toxicity: s__
stop the drug
treatment of digoxin and digitoxin toxicity: p___
potassium
treatment of digoxin and digitoxin toxicity: l___
lidocaine for antiarrhythmia
treatment of digoxin and digitoxin toxicity: F___
FAB (digoxin antibody)
Why is potassium used to treat digoxin toxicity
it completes for the same spots
clinical use of digoxin and digitoxin:
CHF
Used to treat supraventricular arrhythmia
clinical use of digoxin and digitoxin: C__
CHF
clinical use of digoxin and digitoxin: s____
used to treat supraventricular arrhythmia
for digoxin and digitoxin the NI (besides monitor vitals) is monitor
electrolyte levels
group of HTN drugs that works by reducing Na and reducing blood volume
diuretics
2 HTN drugs that interfere with SNS
lols (beta blockers) doxazosin (a blockers)
3 HTN drugs that vasodilate
hydralazine (vasodilator), verapamil, nifedipine (CCBs)
3 HTN drugs that target RAAS
pril (ACE inhibitor), sartan (A2 antagonist), aliskiren (renin inhibitor)
doxazosin
a blocker
a blocker
doxazosin
doxazosin (a blocker) works by
decreasing peripheral resistance
doxazosin (a blocker) works by decreasing
peripheral resistance
doxazosin (a blocker) is not used for
first line, unless they have benign prostatic hyperplasia
doxazosin (a blocker) is not used for first line, unless
they have benign prostatic hyperplasia
doxazosin (a blocker) side effects are d___ and n___ c___
dizziness and nasal congestion
b blocker
lol
lol
b blocker
b 1 causes (3 things)
increase HR
increase renin
increase contractility
BLOCKING b 1 causes (3 things)
decrease HR
decrease renin
decrease contractility
b 2 causes (2 things)
bronchodilation and vasodilation
BLOCKING b 2 causes (2 things)
blocks bronchodilation and blocks vasodilation (bad for asthmatics)
effects B1 and B2, but mostly B1
lol
