Answers
What medication do we give to a patient who is atropine
symptomatic bradycardia
, What medication do we give to a patient who is Amiodarone
symptomatic tachycardia?
One treatment of Atrial fibrillation (A fib) amiodarone. Slows down the heart rate and damage to the lungs. We should monitor for
What is the corcerning cardiac side effect of this Pulmonary function test, thyroid function, liver function
medication?
Non-pharmacologic treatment for A-fib Cardiac ablation or cardioversion
Non-pharm treatment for Atrial flutter (A-flutter) Cardioversion
Non-pahrm treatment for supra-ventricular tachycardia Vagal amneuvers- bearing down
Cardioversion
what are the risk factors for V-tach -CAD

-Hypo/hyper k
-Hypoglycemia
-Hypothermia
What risk factors cause dysrhythmias -Age (older adult)
-MI
-HTN
-HF
-Heart valve disease
-Sleep apnea
-Electrolyte imbalances
What are the signs and symptoms of Digoxin toxicity? -N/V
-Visual disturbances (yellow halo around lights)
-Later signs: bradycardia, dysthmias
What does digoxin do? It improve cardiac contractility, slow conduction through AV node
What is digoxin used to treat? -heart failure
-atrial fibrillation
-ST
-AFL
-cardiomyopathy
when should we not use digoxin -Patient with poor renal function
-bradycardia
What is metoprolol? Slows down HR, decrease cardiac workload and O2 demand
beta blocker= treats HTN, angina and prevents MI
What is metoprolol used for? -ST
