28

Stable angina as an add on agent if preventative goals have not been achieved. Combination therapy with nitrates, BB, or dihydropyradines. Can be used as BB alternative in contraindications and AE
38
Ranolazine MOA
blocks cardiac late Na channels - revereses the effect of Na buidup that occurs in ischemia and assures NCX goes in the correct direction (Na in Ca out)
39
Ranolazine AE
Long QT syndrome (due to block of Ikr)
40
Ranolazine DDI
Verapamil and Diltiazem, Ketoconazole (CYP34a blockers), Inhibits metabolism of digoxin and simvastatin (dose adjust these drugs)

suppress RAAS systme -- reduced preload and afterload (relaxation og blood vessels, reduce fluid and sodium retention) and inhibit remodeling
45
First choice treatment for CHF
ACE - used in all patients with HFrEF (reduces mortality up to 6 months)
46
ACE -I AE

Aldosterone receptor antagonist (Spiralactone eperenone)
50
Patinet has syptoms of HF and LVEF < 40% with a history of diabetes what drug would you give
Aldosterone receptor antagonist (Spiralactone eperenone)
51

reduced workload of the heart, decreased HR and contractility. Prevent RAAS activation- prevent fluid retention and remodeling. Reduce cardiac remodeling and mortality
55
BB Indication
Anyone with HFrEF on standard thearpy (ACE and diuretic as needed) who are hemodynamically stable (NO HYPOTENSION)
56
BB AE
Bradycardia (decreased HR), reduced exercise tolerance, fluid retention, worsening HF, hypotension
57

ionotropic drug. Inhibits Na/K ATPase -- slows down the NaCa exchange thereby increasing the amount of Ca in the cell - increases contractility. At theraputic doses it slows HR and increases Contractility

75
Beta adrenergic receptors used in heart failure
Dopamine and dobutamine
76
Dopamine and dobutamine MOA
Ionotropic agent. Bind to B1 receptor and increase CAMP and PKA to promote Ca release to increase cardiac contractility
