digoxin
cardiac glycoside; inhibits Na/K ATPase -> increased intracellular Ca-> positive inotropic effect-> reflex decr SNS activity-> incr renal perfusion; sensitize cariac baroreceptors, incr vagal tone -> decr SNS; inhibit NA/K in kindey->incr Na excretion-> decr renin production; heart failure, arrhythmias- slows ventricular response in a fib/flutter; adverse: arrhythmias, heartblock; used at dose below cardiac effect, does not incr survival in HF patients
169
digitoxin
cardiac glycoside
170
dobutamine
beta agonist of choice for systolic dysfunction and congestion; does not activate dopamine receptors; inotropic effect predominates, little chronotropic effect
171
dopamine
beta agonist (alpha at high dose); positive inotropic/chronotropic effect; short term use in decompensated HF; adverse: tachycardia can cause ischemia in CAD, dopamine receptor activation
172
inamrinone
cAMP PDE inhibitor; short term support of circulation in advanced HF; incr intracellular Ca; balanced venous/arterial dilation; incr CO, decr afterload
173
milrinone
cAMP PDE inhibitor; short term support of circulation in advanced HF; more favorable side effect profile; selective for PDE3; best PDE for short term pareneral inotropic support
174
disopyramide
Class 1A Na channel blocker; oral; uses: ventr arrhyth, recurrent atrial arrhyth; adverse: anti-muscarinic, negative inotrope-> avoid in heart failure
175
procainamide
Class 1A Na channel blocker; oral/IV; uses: ventricular arrhyth, recurrent atrial arrhyth; adverse: lupus effects, nausea
176
lidocaine
Class 1B Na channel blocker; IV; acute vent arrhyth; adverse: CNS toxicity, active metabolite cleared by kidney-> avoid in renal failure
177
mexiletine
Class 1B Na channel blocker; oral; use: when lidocaine works acutely, use for chronic vent arrhyth; adverse: CNS toxicity
178
flecainide
Class 1C Na channel blocker; oral; use: recurrent atrial arrhth; adverse: arrhythmogenic, avoid with structual heart disease or post MI (A fib in otherwise nl heart)
179
propafenone
Class 1C Na channel blocker; oral; use: recurrent atrial arrhth; adverse: arrhythmogenic, avoid with structual heart disease or post MI (A fib in otherwise nl heart)
180
amiodarone
Class III K channel blocker; oral/IV use: atrial/vent arrhyth; less arrhythmogenic in pts with HF or post MI; adverse: accumulate in tissue, causing dose related pulmonary, liver, thyroid, eye, skin toxicity; regular monitoring; bradycardia B-blocking effects
181
dofetilide
Class III K channel blocker; oral use: atrial arrhythmia; adverse: prolonged QT-> torsade de pointe; should be started in hospital
182
ibutilide
Class III K channel blocker; IV use: acute conversion of atrial fib/flutter; adverse: prolonged QT-> torsade de pointe; should be started in hospital
183
sotalol
Class III K channel blocker; oral use: atrial/vent arrhythmia; adverse: prolonged QT-> torsade de pointe - should be started in hospital; bradycardia B-blocking effect
184
adenosine
acitvates K channels and inhibits Ca channels (Gi-> decr intracelluluar Ca; IV short half-life use: SVT, a fib/flutter; aids in diagnosis (blocks AV node for ~10 sec); adverse: brief asystole, heart block
185
glycerin
irritant laxative; suppository acts as hydroscopic agent and lubricant; increases water retention and stimulates peristalsis and evacuation reflex
186
bisoprolol
selective B1 antagonist; reduces risk of death in heart failure
187
quinidine
Class 1A Na channel blocker; oral/IV; uses: vent arrhth, recurrent atrial arrhth; adverse: diarrhea, anit-muscarinic
