Pump (heart contraction)

Antiarrhythmics

Class IV

Tx for HTN, angina

Phase 2: block calcium channels, delay phase 1&2

diltiazem, verapamil (CCB)

Class III

Tx for V-fib, pulseless v-tach, cardiac arrest

Phase 3: block K+ channels

amiodarone, sotolol

Class II

Tx for SVT, PVC

Phase 4: prolongs rest phase decrease BP, workload

Beta blockers -lol

Class I

Tx for V-tach

Phase 0: block Na+ channels

Lidocaine, flecainide

CHF

Cardiac Glycosides

dig toxicity

check heart rate

make heart beat slower & harder

Digoxin

PDE inhibitors

Don't give with Lasix

AE: ventricle arrhythmias

increase contraction & increase SNS stim.

Milrinone. IV only

HCN blockers

caution w/ A-fib & heart block

AE: bradycardia, HTN, a-fib

slows SA node improves cardiac output

Ivabradine

AntiHTN

SNS blockers

check HR before administering

lower BP, lower HR

Block SNS response

Beta-blockers -lol

Diuretics

Pt. ed. reasons for med & compliance

1st line med for HTN

increase Na+ & water excretion frim kidneys

hydrochlorothiazide, spironolactone

vasodilators

monitor pt. w/ CAD, CHF, tachycardia

lower BP, causes tachycardia

used in severe HTN emergencies

hydralazine, minoxidil, nitroprusside

AE: low BP S&S

slows contractility & impulses dilates arteries

inhibit movement of Ca+ in action potential Phase 2

-dipine

ARBs

AE: low BP S&S renal damage

lowers BP

block angiotensin II receptors

-sartan

ACE inhibitors

take on empty stomach

treats HTN

decrease BP decrease aldosterone

block angiotensin-converting enzyme=no Angiotensin II

-pril

AntihypoTN

Long term: midodrine (PO)

Short term: Norepi, epi, phenylephrine (all IV)

Stimulate SNS response

Increase BP, blood volume, & heart contraction

Plasma (blood)

Anemia Tx.

Epo stimulation

Monitor: HTN, seizures, Hgb level

IV or subq only

CKD, dialysis, cancer

epoetin alfa

Other anemias

Monitor GI & bone marrow

sickle cell: hydroxyurea, ABX

Megaloblastic: Folic acid, Vit. B12

iron deficiency

Diarrhea, dark stools

Z-track or PO

elevate serum iron

ferrous-

Cardiovascular Drugs

Medications used to manage cardiovascular conditions encompass a variety of drug classes, each targeting specific aspects of heart function and blood pressure regulation. Cardiac glycosides like digoxin enhance heart contraction but require careful monitoring for toxicity.
