What is Digoxin's half life?
30-40 hours; this is why we monitor closely for Digitalis/Digoxin toxicity.
Three Types of Calcium Blockers: Medications
1) Verpamil (First Calcium blocker)
2) Nifedipine (Most potent)
3) Diltiazem (Emergency Cardiac drug)
These medications help decrease oxygen demand and heart workload.
Beta-Blockers affect on the Heart
-Decrease HR
-Decrease Oxygen consumption
-Decrease heart contractility
True or False: Nonselective Beta Blockers affect B1 and B2.
True; because nonselective beta blockers affect B1 and B2 this can cause bronchoconstriction.
True or False: Selective Beta Blockers affect B1 and B2.
False; selective beta blockers affect ONLY B1 and lack acitvity with B2 (which means they
avoid bronchoconstriction.)
, Beta-Blockers drug endings commonly end in?
-lol
Propranolol, Nadolol, and Pindolol (Nonselective)
Atendol and Metroprolol (Selective)
What are types of Antianginal drugs?
-Nitrates
- Beta Blockers
-Calcium channel blockers
How can a patient use nonpharmacologic measures to control Angina?
- Reduce stress
- No heavy meals
- No smoking
- No heavy exercise
What is angina pectoris?
chest pain caused by inadequate flow of blood and oxygen to the heart
What is stable angina?
-Predictable chest pain
-Related to myocardial ischemia
