322 Cardiac glycosides

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
digoxin   cardiac glycoside that inhibits the sodium potassium pump resulting in an increased intracellular sodium  
🗑
mode of action digoxin   increases myocardial contractility, enhances cardiac output, decreases preload, improves blood flow to periphery and kidneys, decreases edema and promotes fluid excretion  
🗑
positive inotropic   increases myocardial contractility  
🗑
negative chronotropic   decrease HR  
🗑
negative dromotropic   decreases the conduction speed of the impulses from the SA node to the AV node  
🗑
phosphodiesterase inhibitors   cardiotonic inotropic agents; increase stroke volume and cardiac output which promotes vasodilation  
🗑
antianginal drugs   nitrates, beta blockers, calcium channel blockers  
🗑
nitrates, nitroglycerin   promotes rapid and generalized vascular and coronary vasodilation increasing blood flow to the heart  
🗑
nitroglycerin   decrease preload and after load, reduces myocardial oxygen demand  
🗑
beta blockers   block action of catecholamines, decrease HR and BP; decrease workload of heart and oxygen demands which decreases force of contraction  
🗑
calcium channel blockers   relax coronary artery spasm, relax peripheral arterioles, decrease cardiac contractility, decrease after load and peripheral resistance  
🗑
digoxin toxicity   anorexia, nausea and vomiting, headache, malaise, blurred vision, halos surrounding objects, confusion and delirium, bradycardia  
🗑
antidote for digoxin toxicity   digoxin immune fab; binds with digoxin to form complex molecules that can be excreted in the urine  
🗑
side effects of nitroglycerin   headache, hypotension, fluching  
🗑
route of nitroglycerin   sublingual, 1 dose every 5 minutes, 3 doses max  
🗑
