What are the electrophysiologic properties of the heart which are affected by digitalis glycosides? (4) ACER
Automaticity
Conduction
Excitability
Refractoriness
What are the cardiac regions of the heart that exhibits electrophysiologic properties? SAPAAVAV
SA node
AV node
Purkinje fibers
AV juntional tissues
Atrium
Ventricle
Atrial muscle
Ventricular muscle
These drugs increases the strength of cardiac muscle contraction by increasing the quantity of intracellualr calcium available for binding with muscle proteins.
Positive inotropes
What is the MOA of postive inotropes?
-increases intracellular calcium
-alters the Sodium-Calcium exchange pump an
-increases production of cyclic adenosine monnophosphate (cAMP) because stimulation of adenylate cyclase
-decreases degradation of cAMP via inhibition of phosphodiesterases
What is the MOA of cadiac glycosides?
-inhibits membrane-bound sodium-potassium-ATPase pump
-increase calcium in the cell, increase sodium-calcium exchange
-increase release of calcium from sarcoplasmic reticulum
-increased contractility of the cardiac muscle
-increases automaticity and cardiac arrythmias
An effect by the digitals drugs where there is decreased conduction velocity in the AV node
Negative chronotropic effect
How does digitalis drugs provide a negative chronotropic effect?
-Potentiation of the vagal (cholinergic) activity of the heart
-Changes the conduction of the heart which might result in AV nodal blockade
-at toxic level, increase acetylcholine sensitivity which may directly slow sinus nodal activity
What are the general clinical uses of digitalis drugs? (2)
-Congestive heart failure (circulation restoration)
-Supraventricular tachyarrythmias (slow down ventricular rate)
