| first line for chf | diuretics |
| other meds | ace I, ARB's, aldactone (aldosterone antagonists), beta blockers |
| benefit of ace's over arbs | acei help cardiac remodeling more than arbs |
| additonal meds for chf | digoxin, dopamane, hydralazine |
| toxicity digoxin sign/symkptoms | dysrhythmia, n, v, visual disturbances, fatigue, anorexia |
| blood levels ideal | .5-.8; above 1.0 increase toxicity |
| toxic levels | above 2 |
| withhold dig if | pulse <60 |
| drug/drug w/dig | diurectics, acei, arbs, symkpathomimetics (dopamine,dobutamine), quinidine, verapamil |
| diuretics w/dig | hypokalemia |
| ace, arbs w/dig | hyperkalemia |
| symkpathomimetics w/dig | can increase HR too much & cause tachydysthrhthmyia |
| quinidine & verapamil | increase dig levels |
| beta blockers w/dig | slows HR decreased contractility |
