Cardio drugs
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Atenolol | Beta-antagonist (slow HR) (class 11 beta-blocker) |
Atenolol | hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, supraventricular tachycardia, aortic stenosis; A-fib |
Atenolol | no bronchiolar effects |
Enalapril | ACE inhibitor; chronic heart failure |
Pimobendan | dilated cardiomyopathy; valvular insufficiency |
Pimobendan | Phosphodiesterase III inhibitor and a calcium sensitizer which acts as an inotropic vasodilator |
Diltiazem | cardiac glycoside; Ca+ channel blocker |
Diltiazem | slows the heart by inhibiting the influx of calcium into the myocardial cells ; positive inotrope; |
Diltiazem | treat supraventricular tachycardias, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and hypertension |
Procainamide | class 1A anti-arrhythmic; membrane stabilzer; |
Procainamide | attempts to convert atrial fibrillation to a normal sinus rhythm |
Digoxin | increase vagal tone to the AV node to slow conduction and decrease the heart rate. |
Isoproterenol | non-specific beta receptor agonist; increase the ventricular rate in response to atrial fibrillation, thus is inappropriate in the management of A-fib |
Lidocaine | membrane stabilzer; emergency for V-fib |
Propanolol | class II beta-blocker; negative chronotrope/inotrope; atrial tachycardia and HCM |
Propanolol | bronchocontriction |
Amlodipine | Ca+ channel blocker; arteriolar vasodilation |
Amlodipine | treat hypertension in cats and dogs(in conjection with ACE inhibitor) |
Nitroglycerine | preload reducer; venous capacitance. Emergency use for CHF |
Dobutamine | direct beta one stimulation. Positive inotrope and chronotrope |
Dobutamine | Emergency CHF. Arrythmogenic |
Epinephrine | Alpha1/2, beta 1/2 stimulation. Potent vasopressor |
Furosemide | potassium wasting diuretic, use when congestive disease |
Spironolactone | anti aldosterone diuretic; blocks effects at distal tubules, spares potassium, eliminates sodium and chloride. |
Dopamine | alpha agonist to increase peripheral resistance and increase blood pressure |
