  • Front
  • Back
Effects Furosimide
-decrease BACKWARDS failure

-decrease blood volume--> decrease pulmonary congestion

-decrease preload
Risks w/ Furosimide
-hypokalemia- give w/ spirinolactone or eplepenone

-difficult to get into tubule w/ low GFR--> give frequent and high doses
Effects of Spirinolactone and Eplerenone
-decrease BP (unknown mechanism)

-prevents remodeling of myocardium (block aldosterone)

-prevents hyokalemia w/ furosimide
Spirinolactone vs. Eplerenone
-Spirinolactone partial agonist for sex hormone receptors

-Eplerenone will not have sex hormone effects
Enalapril
ACE (-)

-prevent myocardial remodeling

-balanced vasodilation--> decrease preload--> helps FORWARD and BACKWARD failure

-lower Filtration Fraction (increase RBF more than GFR)
Lisinopril
ACE (-)

-prevent myocardial remodeling

-balanced vasodilation--> decrease preload--> helps FORWARD and BACKWARD failure

-lower Filtration Fraction (increase RBF more than GFR)
Captopril
ACE (-)

-prevent myocardial remodeling

-balanced vasodilation--> decrease preload--> helps FORWARD and BACKWARD failure

-lower Filtration Fraction (increase RBF more than GFR)
Why will Filtration Fraction fall w/ Captopril/ Lisinopril/ Enalapril?
ACE (-)

-a higher increase of RBF compared to GFR

-will decrease diuresis
Causes Balanced Vasodilation
ACE (-)- Captopril/ Enalapril/ Lisinopril

-decreased preload = venodilation

-decreased afterload = arteriodilation

***helps FORWARD and BACKWARD failure***

-ALSO nitrates + hydralizine in black pts.
Risks w/ ACE (-)
-myocardial hypoperfusion w/ lowered diastolic pressures

-hyperkalemia and uremia w/ poor renal function
Nitrates + Hydralazine
-in black pts. will help increase BALANCED VASODILATION in conjunction w/ ACE (-)

-massive increase in survival

-Nitrates = venodilation

-Hydralazine = antioxidant preventing NO degredation
Risks w/ Nitrates + Hydralazine
-prolonged Hydralizine--> SLE-like Sx in slow-acetylators
Carvedilol Function
Beta-antagonists- block beta and alpha 1 and 2 rec.

-prevents damage to heart w/ chronic sympathetic tone--> initial lower EF with eventual increase EF

-prevents ventricular arrythmias
Drug makes pt.s feel worse for months before they feel better:
Carvedilol

-initial decrease of EF w/ evential increase EF

-start on dry weight w/ dose based on lean muscle mass
-work-up to highest dose tolerated
Blocks sympathetic tone:
Carvediol

-pts. feel worse for months before better

-dose-dependant effects---> work up to highest tolerated

-final increase in EF + prevents ventricular arrythmias

-prolongs diastole
Prolong diastole in Diastolic HF pts.
Carvediol

(blocks sympathetic tone- beta and alpha receptors)

-eventual increase in EF

-prolongs diastolic function

-prevents ventricular arrythmias
Digoxin MOA
Digoxin [=] Na/ K- ATPase (bind to Arg residue--> prevents action)

-Na/ Ca exchanger cannot work--> increased cytoplasmic Ca2++

-sarcolemmal increase in Ca-uptake--> INCREASED CONTRACTILITY

-ALSO increases VAGAL TONE/ decrease sympathetic tone
Digoxin Effects
-increase contractility

-increase vagal tone

-decrease sympathetic tone
Digoxin Risks
-narrow theraputic window

-hypokalemia and hypomagnesia will increase toxicity (beware when using furosimide)

-premature ventricular contractions (in diastole)

-abnormal yellow-green vision

-Spirinolactone prevents clearance
HF Digoxin interactions
-hypokalemia and magnesia will increase toxicity (helps bond to Asp residues--> common w/ furosemide)

-Spirinolactone will decrease clearance
