A

Positive ionotrope and balanced vasodilator

Positive ionotrope: Sensitize myocardial contraction apparatus to calcium -> results in positive ionotropic effect (does NOT increase intracellular Ca)

Aortic stenosis or with any condition where augmentation of cardiac output is inappropriate

166
Q

2) [positive or negative] chronotropic effects
3) [positive or negative] dromotropic effects

A

Positive ionotropic
Negative chronotropic
Negative dromotropic

168
Q

Precaution when using Digoxin

A

Acute use -> Hyperkalemia
Chronic use -> HYPOKALEMIA*****

169
Q

What happens if you use Digoxin concurrently with Furosemide

A

Can increase risk of digotoxin toxicity

170
Q

Difference between Class IA and Class IB Sodium channel blockers

A

1A: prolongs action potential
1B: shortens action potential

171
Q

Propanolol is used to treat (3)

A

1) Catecholamine induced tachyarrhythmias
2) Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia
3) HCM in cats secondary to hyperthyroidism**

172
Q

What drug would you use to determine if beta blockers are effective for controlling arrythmias?

A

Esmolol (because it is the shortest acting BB)

173
Q

Which beta blocker would you use if you want a safe choice for patients with bronchoconstrictive disease (ie feline asthma)?

A

Atenolol

174
Q

What are the two class III potassium channel blockers for management of ventricular tachyarrhythmia?

A

Sotalol and Amiodarone

175
Q

Hydralazine MOA

A

Increase local PGI2 concentration -> prevents initiation and maintenance of contractile state
(arteriolar vasodilation)

176
Q

Precaution when using vasopressin

A

WATER RETENTION -> overdose can lead to water intoxication, so do not use in patients with chronic nephritis or uncontrolled azotemia

177
Q

What is hyperalgesia

A

exaggerated perception of pain produced by noxious stimuli

178
Q

What is allodynia

A

when a non-noxious stimulus elicits pain (ie brushing hair)

179
Q

Grabiprant MOA

A

Prostaglandin EP4 receptor antagonist

180
Q

Grabiprant is used for…

A

Dogs with pain and inflammation from arthritis (osteoarthritis)

181
Q

What is the only animal Grabibprant is used for (and age + weight restrictions)?

A

Dogs over 8 lbs and over 9 months old

182
Q

Why is acetaminophen never used in cats?

A

Methemoglobinemia and hepatic necrosis

183
Q

Ketamine and Tiletamine induce what stages of anesthesia?

A

1 and 2

184
Q

Cardiovascular effects of Ketamine

A

CV stimulation

185
Q

Respiratory effects of Ketamine

A

Bronchodilation (good for asthma patients)

186
Q

Why is etomidate contraindicated in addison’s patients?

A

Because it inhibits cortisol synthesis

187
Q

What are the two anti-epileptic drugs you have to monitor plasma levels routinely for?

A

Bromide and Phenobarbitol

188
Q

Drug to help tx nausea in chemo pateints

A

Ondasteron/Dolasteron

189
Q

Drug to tx cholangiohepatitis

A

Ursodiol

190
Q

Magnesium Sulfate is used for…

A

Tx of refractory ventricular arrhythmia (ie if lidocaine is not working)

191
Q

Hydralazine MOA

A

Increase local PGI2 concentration

192
Q

Hydralazine is use for (2)…

A

Hypertensive crisis and target organ damage

193
Q

Common side effect for Mycophenolate

A

Diarrhea

194
Q
