E N D
Drugs For Right & Left Sided Heart Failure • Cardiac Glycosides • Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors (ACE Inhibitors) • Diuretics
Cardiac Glycosides • Digitoxin (Crystodigin) • Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Cardiac Glycosides : Mechanism Of Action • Inhibits Na+-K+ ATPase And Impairs The Active Transport Of Sodium & Potassium - Intracellular Sodium Concentrations Rise
High Intracellular Na+ Deranges The Na+-Ca2+ Pump Which Allows Intracellular Ca2+ Concentrations To Rise
Calcium Channels May Open Up And Allow Extracellular Calcium To Flow Into The Cell • The Heart Will Beat More Forcibly And With Greater Velocity
Glycosides Enhance Vagal Tone Over The Heart • Slows The Heart Rate • Slows The AV Node Conduction Velocity & Increases The AV Nodal Refractory Period
Glycosides Net Effect On The Heart • Heart Rate Is Slowed • Cardiac Contraction Is Greater • Ejection Fraction Is Improved • Increased Ejection Velocity • The Heart Is A Better Pump
Adverse Side Effects Of The Cardiac Glycosides • Fatigue • Delirium • Anorexia • Headaches
Hallucinations • Visual Disturbances • Atrioventricular Blocks
EKG Changes Associated With The Cardiac Glycosides • Prolonged P-R Interval • Inversion Of T-Wave • S-T Segment Depression
Glycosides - Medical Uses • Atrial Flutter • Atrial Fibrillation • Paroxysmal Tachycardia • Congestive Heart Failure
Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors • Captopril (Capoten) • Enalapril Maleate (Vasotec) • Lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril) • Benazepril (Lotensin) • Fosinopril (Monopril)
Moexipril (Univasc) • Quinapril (Accupril) • Ramipril (Altace) • Trandolapril (Mavik)
CHF - How Does It Occur ? • The Heart As A Pump Is Weakened • Myocardial Infarction • Ischemic Heart Disease • Valve Dysfunction & Disease • Hypertension --> To Hypertrophy • Idiopathic Cardiomyopathy
The Failing Heart Causes : • Low Blood Flow Systemically • Aldosterone Is Released • Renin Is Released
Increased Sodium And Water Retention • Increased Cardiac Workload • Decreased Cardiac Pump Performance
ACE InhibitorsMechanism Of Action • Blocks Converting Enzyme From Changing Angiotensin I to Angiotensin II • Prevents A Rise In Peripheral Resistance (Vasoconstriction)
Reduces Afterload On The Heart • Reduces Work Of The Heart
ACE InhibitorsAdverse Side Effects • GI Distress • Dizziness • Skin Rashes • Hypotension
ACE Inhibitors - Medical Uses • Hypertension • Congestive Heart Failure • Diabetic Nephropathy
Diuretics • High Ceiling Loop Diuretics • Benzothiadiazide Diuretics • Potassium Sparing Diuretics • Mannitol - Osmotic Diuretic
High Ceiling Loop Diuretics • Furosemide (Lasix) • Ethacrynic Acid (Edecrin) • Bumetanide (Bumex) • Torsemide (Demadex)
High Ceiling Loop DiureticsMechanism Of Action • Loop Diuretics Exert Their Effect At The Proximal Tubule And Ascending Loop • Blocks The Re-Absorption of Sodium, Potassium & Chloride Ions
Loss Of These Ions In The Glomerular Filtrate Is Followed By Quantities Of Water
High Ceiling Loop DiureticsAdverse Side Effects • Electrolyte Imbalances • Hypokalemia *** • Hyponatremia • Hypocalcemia • Hypomagnesemia
Urinary Loss Of Blood Ions • Natriuresis • Kaliuresis • Orthostatic Hypotension • Dehydration
Potassium Rich Foods • Dates • Bananas • Raisins • Apricots • Tomatoes
Oranges • Potatoes • Lima Beans • Carrots
Veal • Chicken • Turkey • Liver • Beef • Milk
Peanuts • Sardines • Halibut
High Ceiling Loop DiureticsMedical Uses • Congestive Heart Failure • Severe Pneumonia • Prevent Acute Renal Failure • Control Of Hypertension • Control Of General Edema • Control Of Acute Pulmonary Edema
Benzothiadiazides • Hydrochlorothiazide (Hydrodiuril) • Chlorothiazide (Diuril) • Clorthalidone (Hygroton) • Benzthiazide (Aquapres) • Bendroflumethiazide (Naturetin)
Methyclothiazide (Aquatensen) • Polythiazide (Renese) • Indapamide (Lozol) • Hydroflumethiazide (Diucardin) • Metalozone (Zaroxolyn) • Quinethazone (Hydromax) • Trichlormethiazide (Diurese)
Thiazides - Mechanism Of Action • Act In The Distal Tubule • Inhibit Reabsorption Of Sodium And Potassium • Stimulate The Reabsorption Of Calcium • Loss Of Water As Urine
Thiazides : Adverse Side Effects • Loss Of Blood Ions • Hypokalemia • Hyponatremia • Hypomagnesemia • Loss Of Iodine
Loss Of Blood Ions In The Urine • Kaliuresis • Natriuresis • Chloruresis
Thiazides : Adverse Side Effects • Hyperuricemia (Gout) • Weakness & Fatigue • Hypercholesterolemia • Hypertriglyceridemia • Hyperglycemia (Insulin Suppression)
Thiazides - Medical Uses • Control Hypertension • Congestive Heart Failure • Control Edema Due To : • Hepatic Disease • Renal Disease • Corticosteroid Therapy • Estrogen Therapy
Potassium Sparing Diuretics • Spironolactone (Aldactone) • Triamterene (Dyrenium) • Amiloride (Midamor)
Spironolactone - Mechanism Of Action • Competitively Binds The Aldosterone Receptor Preventing The Hormone From Binding To Its Receptor • Aldosterone's Normal Steroid-Nuclear DNA Transcription Is Halted
SpironolactoneMechanism Of Action • Excretion Of : • Sodium • Chloride • Water • Retention of Potassium
SpironolactoneAdverse Side Effects • Diarrhea • Drowsiness • Lethargy
Headaches • Impotence • Mental Confusion
SpironolactoneAdverse Side Effects • Hyponatremia • Hyperkalemia • Gynecomastia • Irregular Menses
Amenorrhea • Hirsuitism • Deepening Of The Voice
Spironolactone - Medical Uses • Heart Failure • Primary Hyperaldosteronism • Cirrhosis Of The Liver • Essential Hypertension • Nephrotic Syndrome
Spironolactone - Medical Uses • Primary Aldosteronism (Conn's Disease) • Aldosterone Secreting Adrenal Cortical Tumor
Severely Depleted Blood Potassium Levels • Hypertensive Due To Water Retention • Muscle Weakness
