| Cardiac Glycosides | Category of drug used to treat CHF. |
| Antianginal Agents | Category of drug used to treat Angina Pectoris. |
| Antidysrhythmics | Category of drug used to treat an abnormal heart beat. |
| Cardiac Glycoside, digoxin | Acts to inhibit the Na-K pump thereby stimulating contraction of heart. |
| Nitrates | Act to reduce cardiac O2 demand and increase blood flow to heart. |
| Beta Blockers | Act by blocking epinephrine and norepinephrine to decrease heart rate. |
| Calcium Channel Blockers | Act by inhibiting Ca influx during depolarization therby decreasing cardiac contractility. |
| Sodium Channel Blockers | Act by decreasin Na influx to heart cells thereby increasing repolarization. |
| Orthostatic hypotension | Side effect of antidysrhythmic agents. |
| Bradycardia | Side effect of beta blockers and cardiac glycosides. |
| Blood Pressure | Monitor when taking antidysrhythmic agents. |
| Apical Pulse | Monitor when taking Cardiac Glycosides. |
| S/S of digitalis toxiciy | Visual disturbances, bradycardia, nausea/vomiting, confusion |
| Antidote for digitalis toxicity | Digibind |
| Electrolytes: Depolarization | Sodium and Calcium |
| Electrolytes: Repolarization | Potassium |
