cardiac glycosides - digitalis/digoxin
|
|
digoxin inhibits _______________. How does this help?
|
Na/K ATPase - since Na/K pump is inhibited, there is more intracellular Na. Since there is more intracellular Na, the Na/Ca antiport is less active meaning less Na in and less Ca out. Therefore more intracellular Na means more intracellular Ca. That means more stored Ca. So each time there is a stimulus for contraction more Ca is released. More calcium released ---> stronger contractions.
