Underlying cause of Heart Failure?
|
HTN and MI
|
|
|
Diuretics
|
~decrease bld vol--decrease P and cardiac dilation.
~HCTZ for long term tx ~Furosemide tx when low GFR |
|
|
Captopril
|
~ACE inhibitor--vasodilation
|
|
|
Losartan
|
~Angiotensin 2 receptor antagonist.
~increases L ventricular ejection fraction |
|
|
Spironolactone
|
~Diuretic, Potassium sparing aldosterone antagonist.
~decrease SNS activity and less cardiac remodeling. |
|
|
Metoprolol
|
~B blocker--better L vent eject fract and better exercise tolerance.
|
|
|
Digoxin
|
~Cardiac Glycoside
~+ inotropic effect (increase contractile force)--increased CO. ~inhibits Na/K ATPase--Ca accum--increased contrac force. and electrolyte redistribution--indirect decrease in HR, afterload, and fluid vol. ~Lessens s/sx but does not increase life. ~FX intensified w/ HypOkalemia |
