Calcium Channel Blockers AKA?
|
The "PINES" wks on the pipes
|
|
What are the indications for CCB?
|
HTN, Variant angina and Dysrhythmia
|
|
What is the MOA of CCB?
|
Inhibits Ca ions into smooth & cardiac muscle.
Therefore it.... Dilates arterioles Decrease PVR Decreases contractility Decreases conduction |
|
What is the T/E of CCB?
|
Decrease BP
|
|
What are the S/E of CCB?
|
Palpitations, reflex tachycardia, arrhythmia's, hypotension, HF, dizziness, edema, HA, constipation
|
|
What are C/C of CCB?
|
Certain dysthythmias
|
|
CCB are selective and non selective. What do the selective target? What do the non-selective target?
|
Selective - Blood vessels only
Non-selective - heart and blood vessels = vasodilation |
|
What are N/I for CCB?
|
Monitor BP, HR, EKG, orthostatic hypotension, S/S HF, Weight gain, CP, can cause reflex tachycardia d/t rapid decrease BP
|
|
What are pt teaching's for CCB?
|
Report dyspnea, CP, decrease Hr, palpitations, wt gain, avoid grapefruit juice can increase CCB levels, etoh can increase orthostatic hypotension, do not stop taking suddenly
|
|
Cardiac glycoside
|
Digoxin
|
|
What is the antidote for Digoxin?
|
Digibind
|
|
What are the indications for C(g)?
|
HF and dysrhythmia
|
|
What is the MOA of C(g)?
|
Increase cardiac contractility by increasing Ca ions into myocardial cells and decreasing conduction
|
|
What is the T/E of C(g)?
|
Increase force of contraction (+ inotropic effect)
Decrease HR |
|
What are S/E of C(g)?
|
CV: Bradycardia, Arrhymias, Fatigue
CNS: Drowsiness, dizzy, visual disturb (halo's) GI: Anorexia, n/v |
|
What are C/C in C(g)?
|
Caution: Renal Failure, elderly, acute MI
Contraindication: Ventricular dysrhythmias NARROW THERAPEUTIC INDEX!!!!!!!! |
|
What are S/S of toxicity w/ C(g)?
|
N/V, HR <60, blurred vision or greenish/ yellow tinges around objects
|
