CHF indicates a weak pump.”
Causes of CHF include Heredity
Causes of CHF include Smoking
Causes of CHF include Excess fat in the diet (obesity).
Causes of CHF include Sedentary lifestyle
Causes of CHF include Age (35)
Causes of CHF include MI(s)
Causes of CHF include 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
Treatment for congestive heart failure (CHF) commonly includes digoxin.
Lanoxin, Digitek, or Lanoxicaps (digoxin) may require TDM because of a narrow TI Therapeutic index ).
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) for digoxin is commonly called a “dig level.”
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
The abbreviation for potassium is K
Thoracodynia caused by coronary ischemia ( ) is called angina pectoris (AP).
The coronary ischemia is caused by stenosis of the coronary arteries.
The stenosis is commonly caused by atherosclerosis.
Causes of atherosclerosis include: Heredity
Causes of atherosclerosis include: Smoking
Causes of atherosclerosis include: Excessive fat in the diet (obesity)
Causes of atherosclerosis include: Sedentary life style.
Causes of atherosclerosis include: Age (35)
Many antianginals work by causing the coronary arteries to vasodilate
Vasodilation causes hypotension
Antianginals nitroglycerin
Antianginals Nitrostat
Antianginals Nitro-Dur
Antianginals isosorbide
Antianginals Isordil
Antianginals atenolol
Antianginals Tenormin.
Antianginals metoprolol
Antianginals Lopressor
Antianginals Toprol
Antianginals nadolol
Antianginals Corgard
Antianginals propranolol
Antianginals Inderal
Antianginals amlodipine
Antianginals Norvasc.
Antianginals nicardipine
Antianginals Cardene.
Antianginals nifedipine
Antianginals Adalat
Antianginals Procardia
Antianginals verapamil
Antianginals Calan
Antianginals diltiazem
Antianginals Cardizem
Antiarrhythmic medications are prescribed to treat cardiac dysrhythmias
Cardiac dysrhythmias are abnormalities in the conduction of electrical impulses in the heart.
Antiarrhythmics Norpace
Antiarrhythmics disopyramide
Antiarrhythmics Betapace.
Antiarrhythmics procainamide
Antiarrhythmics Pronestyl.
Antiarrhythmics Rythmol.
Antiarrhythmics propranolol
Antiarrhythmics Inderal
Antiarrhythmics diltiazem
Antiarrhythmics Cardizem
Antiarrhythmics verapamil
Antiarrhythmics Calan
Antiarrhythmics clonidine
Antiarrhythmics Catapres
Antiarrhythmics digoxin
Antiarrhythmics Lanoxin
Antiarrhythmics Digitek
Antiarrhythmics Lanoxicaps
HTN stands for hypertension.
Hypertension (HTN) refers to chronic high blood pressure.
HHD stands for hypertensive heart disease
Common causes of chronic hypertension (HTN) include Atherosclerosis
Common causes of chronic hypertension (HTN) include Kidney disease
Common causes of chronic hypertension (HTN) include Poor stress management
Common causes of chronic hypertension (HTN) include Excess salt, caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol.
HTN of unknown cause is called primary, essential, or idiopathic hypertension.
Medications prescribed to lower blood pressure are called antihypertensives
Antihypertensives Diovan.
Antihypertensives Cozaar
Antihypertensives Benicar
Antihypertensives Hyzaar
Antihypertensives Avapro
Antihypertensives metoprolol
Antihypertensives Lopressor
Antihypertensives Toprol.
Antihypertensives propranolol
Antihypertensives Inderal
Antihypertensives atenolol
Antihypertensives Tenormin
Antihypertensives nadolol
Antihypertensives Corgard
Antihypertensives amlodipine
Antihypertensives Norvasc.
Antihypertensives nicardipine
Antihypertensives Cardene
Antihypertensives nifedipine
Antihypertensives Adalat
Antihypertensives Procardia
Antihypertensives diltiazem
Antihypertensives Cardizem
Antihypertensives verapamil
Antihypertensives Calan
Antihypertensives clonidine
Antihypertensives Catapres
Antihypertensives Minipress
Antihypertensives Capoten
Antihypertensives Lotensin
Antihypertensives Hytrin
Medications that end in -olol are called beta blockers
Beta blockers can lose effectiveness if combined with fruit juice
Hyperlipidemia means a blood condition of excessive fat
Fats that can cause diseases of the heart and blood vessels include Cholesterol
Fats that can cause diseases of the heart and blood vessels include Triglycerides.
Fats that can cause diseases of the heart and blood vessels include Trans-fatty acids
These fats are considered saturated
Medications prescribed to lower the amount of circulating fat in the blood are called antihyperlipidemics (“statins”).
Antihyperlipidemics (“statins” Lipitor
Antihyperlipidemics (“statins” Crestor
Antihyperlipidemics (“statins” Pravachol
Antihyperlipidemics (“statins” Zocor
Antihyperlipidemics (“statins” Lopid
Antihyperlipidemics (“statins” niacin
Antihyperlipidemics (“statins” Niaspan
Antihyperlipidemics (“statins” Trilipix.
The combination of Norvasc (amlodipine) and Lipitor is called Caduet
Antihyperlipidemics may require periodic LFTs-Liver Function Tests
“Statins” can increase the risk of DM (diabetes) by 48% in women.
Antihyperlipidemic toxicity can occur if combined with grapefruit juice
An omega-3 supplement for hypertriglyceridemia is called Lovaza
