A

B2 agonist

40
Q

What is an example of a phosphodiesterase inhibitor?

41
Q

What do phosphodiesterase inhibitors do to cAMP?

A

Decreased hydrolysis (metabolism) of cAMP), resulting in increased concentrations in the myocardium and smooth muscle. Causes positive inotropic effects and smooth muscle dilation.

42

hat is the following for Milrinone:

Dose:
Onset:
Duration:
Receptor/action:
Effect:
A

Dose: 0.25-0.5mcg/kg/min
Onset: 5min
Duration: ??
