🗑
Causes of CHF (congestive heart failure) include:   1. Heredity. 2. Smoking. 3. Excess fat in the diet (obesity). 4. Sedentary lifestyle. 5. Age (35). 6. MI(s) {myocardial infarction(s)}. 7. Valvular disease.  
🗑
As the heart weakens, the amount of blood the heart ejects lessens and the heart rate   increases.  
🗑
Signs of CHF include:   pedal edema and pulmonary edema.  
🗑
A medication designed to slow the heart rate and stimulate the myocardium to contract more forcefully is called   Lanoxin, Digitek, or Lanoxicaps.  
🗑
The generic name for Lanoxin, Digitek, or Lanoxicaps is   digoxin ("dig").  
🗑
Treatment for congestive heart failure (CHF) commonly includes   digoxin.  
🗑
Lanoxin, Digitek, or Lanoxicaps (digoxin) may require TDM (therapeutic drug monitoring) because of a   narrow TI (therapeutic index).  
🗑

🗑
A high fiber diet can   slow the absorption of digoxin.  
🗑
Signs of digitalis toxicity include:   bradycardia and yellow-green halos around lights.  
🗑
Lanoxin, Digitek, or Lanoxicaps (digoxin) is commonly administered in combination with a diuretic called   furosemide AKA Lasix.  
🗑
Lasix (furosemide) causes an excessive loss of the electrolyte (salt)   potassium (K).  
🗑
The abbreviation for potassium is   K  
🗑
K is measured in   mEq(milliequivalents)  
🗑
Thoracodynia caused by coronary ischemia (starvation of O2-oxygen) is called   angina pectoris (AP).  
🗑

🗑
The stenosis is commonly caused by   atherosclerosis.  
🗑
Causes of atherosclerosis include:   1. Heredity. 2. Smoking. 3. Excessive fat in the diet (obesity). 4. Sedentary life style. 5. Age ( ).  
🗑
Many antianginals work by causing the coronary arteries to   vasodilate(increase in diameter)  
🗑
Vasodilation causes   hypotension (low blood pressure)  
🗑
Antianginals include:   1.nitroglycerin AKA Nitrostat or Nitro-Dur 2.isosorbide (sore heart) AKA Isordil 3.atenolol AKA Tenormin 4.metoprolol AKA Lopressor or Toprol 5.nadolol AKA Corgard 6.propranolol AKA Inderal (Inderal does it all). 7. amlodipine AKA Norvasc.  
🗑
The abbreviations for nitroglycerin include   NTG, Ntg, or “nitro.”  
🗑
Nitrostat or Nitro-Dur is AKA   nitroglycerin  
🗑
Antianginals include: (continued)   8. nicardipine AKA Cardene. 9. nifedipine AKA Adalat or Procardia. 10. verapamil AKA Calan. 11. diltiazem AKA Cardizem.  
🗑
NTG(nitroglycerin) is routinely administered   SL(sub-lingual), transdermally and IV (intravenious)  
🗑
Antiarrhythmic medications are prescribed to treat   cardiac dysrhythmias  
🗑
Cardiac dysrhythmias are   abnormalities in the conduction ( ) of electrical impulses in the heart.  
🗑
Antiarrhythmics include:   1.Norpace AKA disopyramide 2.Betapace 3.procainamide AKA Pronestyl 4.Rythmol 5.propranolol AKA Inderal (Inderal does it all) 6.diltiazem AKA Cardizem 7.verapamil AKA Calan 8.clondine AKA Catapres 9.digoxin AKA Lanoxin, Digitek, Lanoxicaps  
🗑
HTN stands for   hypertension (high blood pressure)  
🗑
digoxin AKA   Lanoxin, Digitek, or Lanoxicaps  
🗑
clonidine AKA   Catapres  
🗑
verapamil AKA   Calan  
🗑
diltiazem AKA   Cardizem  
🗑
propranolol AKA   Inderal (Inderal does it all)  
🗑
procainamide AKA   Pronestyl  
🗑
Norpace AKA   disopyramide  
🗑
Norpace is an   Antiarrhythmic  
🗑
disopyramide (Norpace) is an   Antiarrhythmic  
🗑
Betapace is an   Antiarrhythmic  
🗑
procainamide AKA Pronestyl is an   Antiarrhythmic  
🗑
Rythmol is an   Antiarrhythmic  
🗑
propranolol AKA Inderal is an   Antiarrhythmic  
🗑
diltiazem AKA Cardizem is an   Antiarrhythmic  
🗑
digoxin AKA Lanoxin, Digitek or Lanoxicaps is an   Antiarrhythmic  
🗑
clonidine AKA Catapres is an   Antiarrhythmic  
🗑
verapamil AKA Calan is an   Antiarrhythmic  
🗑
Hypertension (HTN) refers to   chronic (re-occuring) high blood pressure  
🗑
HHD stands for   hypertensive heart disease  
🗑
Common causes of chronic (reoccurring) hypertension (HTN) include:   1. Atherosclerosis (fatty plague) 2. Kidney disease. 3. Poor stress management. 4. Excess salt, caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol  
🗑
