Question | Answer |
---|---|
cardiac glycosides | digoxin (lanoxin) |
phosphodiestase inhibitors | milrinone (primacor) |
cardiac glycosides | increase myocardial contractility; slows conduction to AV node |
phosphodiestrase inhibitors | dilate blood vessels and decrease workload on heart; increase force of contraction |
cardiac glycosides desired effects | increase cardiac output; increase myocardial contractility; decrease heart rate |
phosphodiestase inhibitors desired effects | increase force of contractions; relaxation of smooth muscle |
cardiac glycosides adverse effects | N/V; fatigue; confusion; yellow or blurred vision; bradycardia |
phosphodiestase inhibitors adverse effects | hypotension; hypokalemia; ventricular arrhythmias |
