Question
Answer
Objectives of Long Term Management of Chronic Cardiac Failure:   show
🗑
show Reduced force of contraction Decreased CO Increased total peripheral resistance Inadequate organ perfusion Edema Decreased exercise tolerance IHD Sudden death Ventricular remodeling and decreased function  
🗑
What are the non-pharmacologic treatments of Heart Failure?   show
🗑
show Diuretics Aldosterone receptor antagonists Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors Angiotensin receptor blockers Beta blockers Cardiac glycosides Vasodilators Beta agonists Bipyridines Natriuretic peptide  
🗑
show They mostly treat the congestive symptoms Decrease BP and increase K+ loss Can be used in combination with digitalis  
🗑
show IV  
🗑
What are the causes of diuretic resistance in HF?   show
🗑
show Reduce A II levels Increase bradykinin Decreased NE release and upregulation of B1 receptors Reduction of afterload and preload Reduce myocyte & fibroblast GFs Decrease aldosterone causing decreased fluid retention, K+ loss, and arrhythmias  
🗑
What is the therapeutic value of ACEIs?   show
🗑
What are the different preparations of ACEIs?   show
🗑
show Hypotension - First dose phenomenon Renal Impairment - Proteinurea K+ retention Cough  
🗑
show Losartan Candesartan Valsartan Irbesartan(Approvel) Telmisartan(Micardis)  
🗑
When are ARBs used?   show
🗑
show Negative inotropic Not useful in refractory HF Slowing of HR, decreased cardiac work and consequently decreased myocardial O2 consumption and enhanced efficiency lessen the frequency of ischemic events and arrhythmias  
🗑
How can Beta blockers improve myocardial contractility?   show
🗑
How are Beta blockers administered?   show
🗑
Examples of Beta blockers:   show
🗑
When are beta blockers contraindicated?   show
🗑
show By increasing intracellular cardiac Ca++ concentration  
🗑
Examples of Cyclic AMP Independent Agents:   show
🗑
Examples of Cyclic AMP Dependant Agents:   show
🗑
show Inhibits Na/K ATPase  
🗑
Action of Pimobendan:   show
🗑
show Digitalis purpura Digitalis lanata Strophanthus  
🗑
Further action of Digitalis glycosides:   show
🗑
Effects of Digitalis Toxicity:   show
🗑
Pharmacological and toxic effects are greater in   show
🗑
show K+-depleting diuretics  
🗑
show Reduce or stop the drug Cardiac pacemeker for heart block Digitalis antibodies Arrhythmias may be converted to normal sinus rhythm by K+ Antiarrhythmic drugs, such as lidocaine, phenytoin, procainamide, or propranolol, used when K+ conc is high  
🗑
show Only useful in CCHF with supraventricular arrhythmia Might decrease morbidity  
🗑
Examples of B-adrenergic agonists (which are cAMP dependent agents):   show
🗑
show Amrinone Inamrinone Milrinone Vesanirone Sildenafil Adorable Ideas Meet Slimy Verbs  
🗑
show All increase myocardial oxygen consumption, may be used (IV) for short term or in acute heart failure  
🗑
show In cardiogenic shock, but caused severe vasospasm and gangrene  
🗑
When is Ep used?   show
🗑
show Widely used in cardiogenic shock  
🗑
Low doses of dopamine cause:   show
🗑
show Positive inotropic actions by working on B1 receptors  
🗑
show Stimulation of α receptors leading to vasoconstriction and elevation of blood pressure  
🗑
Side effects of dopamine:   show
🗑
What is dobutamine?   show
🗑
When is dobutamine used?   show
🗑
General function of phosphodiesterase inhibitors:   show
🗑
Phosphodieserase inhibitors are generally used for:   show
🗑
Examples of phosphodiesterase inhibitors:   show
🗑
Toxicity, as a result of phosphodiesterase inhibitors leads to:   show
🗑
show Affect preload and/or afterload without directly affecting contractility Consequently can decrease myocardial ischemia, enhance coronary blood flow and decrease MVO2  
🗑
When are vasodilators used?   show
🗑
show Decrease mortality Reducing remodeling of the heart  
🗑
show ACEI, diuretics and digitalis  
🗑
show Nitroglycerin Isosorbide dinitrate  
🗑
Mixed action vasodilators:   show
🗑
Atrial dilators:   show
🗑
show Nitroglycerin Isosorbide dinitrate  
🗑

🗑
show Hydralazine Minoxidil  
🗑
show Doxazosin Prazosin  
🗑
show Phentolamine  
🗑
B1-adrenergic antagonists used for vasodilators :   show
🗑
Ca2+ channel blockers used for vasodilators   show
🗑
show Binds to receptors in the vasculature, kidney, and other organs, producing potent vasodilation with rapid onset and offset of action by increasing levels of cGMP  
🗑
BNP is secreted by:   show
🗑
Niseritide is used for the treatment of:   show
🗑
Action of niseritide:   show
🗑
show Reduction in preload and afterload  
🗑
show Hypotension  
🗑
show Improper dosage of diuretics Failure to consider long term therapeutic goals Underprescribing ACEIs Use of potentially harmful drugs Failure to use hydralazine-isosorbide combination  
🗑
