Uses all oxygen delivered by coronary arteries. Skeletal muscle uses 25-30%. Only way to increase oxygen supply is to vasodilate and increase heart rate. Strengthen contraction to increase output Starling’s Law (fiber length and tension) Atrial and ventricular muscle cells have own intrinsic timer. SA node paces 60-100 times per minute AV node paces 40-60 times per minute Ventricular muscle cells pace 20-40 times per minute Extrinsic Control of Cardiac Output Sympathetic nervous system alpha fibers - increased rate (chronotropic) beta fibers - increased force of contraction (inotropic) Parasympathetic nervous system Vagus nerve - slowing of heart rate, reduces contractility to decrease stroke volume Common Cardiac Related Medications Pg. 686 ▪ Prototype- Digoxin (Lanoxin) Cardiac Glycoside ▪ Actions ▪ Positive inotropic action ▪ Negative chronotropic action ▪ Negative dromotropic action ▪ Increase stroke volume For further knowledge: ATI- Pharmacology Made Easy- Drug Therapy for Heart Failure- Cardiac Glycosides Cardiac Glycoside: Pg. 686 Digoxin (Lanoxin) ▪ Therapeutic Effect/Use ▪ Treatment of HF ▪ Treatment of atrial tachycardia, flutter, and fibrillation 20 Cardiac Glycoside: Digoxin ▪ Mode of Action/Pharmacodynamics ▪ Inhibits sodium-potassium ATPase => ▪ Increases intracellular calcium => ▪ Cardiac muscle fibers contract more efficiently ▪ Heart rate slows 21 Cardiac Glycoside: Digoxin Digitalis Toxicity (drug alert pg 687) Skyscape ▪ Side Effects Anorexia N/V HA Blurred vision (halos) Fatigue Severe (symptomatic) bradycardia ▪ CHF therapeutic drug levels: ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ Adverse Reactions ▪ Bradycardia ▪ AV block ▪ Dysrhythmias ▪ 0.5-0.8 ng/mL ▪ Toxic = >2 ng/mL 22 Cardiac Glycoside: Digoxin/Digitalis Toxicity ▪ Treatment for Digitalis Toxicity ▪ Digoxin immune Fab (digibind) ▪ Binds with digoxin and is excreted in the urine 23 Cardiac Glycoside: Digoxin ▪ Interactions ▪ Increase risk of digoxin toxicity ▪ Thiazide diuretics ▪ Loop diuretics ▪ Why? 24 Cardiac Glycoside: Digoxin ▪ Nursing Implications ▪ Assessment ▪ Apical Pulse: if <60 Hold and notify MD ▪ ECG ▪ Labs: potassium level, Digoxin Level ▪ Evaluation ▪ After dose given watch for SE ▪ Teaching ▪ How to take pulse ▪ S/S of toxicity 25 NITRATES (Pg . 686) ▪ Prototype: Nitroglycerin ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ Dilate Veins=Decreased Preload Dilate Coronary Arteries = O2 supply Dilate Arterioles = Decreased Afterload Side effects: BP, Headache Develop resistance Manufactured in many forms: oral, SL, spray, paste, IV 12 hour nitrate free period Factors Affecting Myocardial Oxygen Demand and the Effect of Various Cardiac Medications Actions of Antianginal Drugs ▪ Improve blood delivery to the heart muscle by dilating blood vessels ▪ Increase the supply of oxygen ▪ Improve blood delivery to the heart muscle by decreasing the work of the heart ▪ Decrease the demand for oxygen Prototype Nitrate: Nitroglycerin ▪ Side effects ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ N/V Dizziness Flush Pallor HA ▪ Adverse Reactions ▪ Hypotension ▪ Tachycardia ▪ Circulatory collapse Prototype Nitrate: nitroglycerin (Nitro-Dur, Nitrostat) (Pg 765-766) ▪ Therapeutic Effects/Uses ▪ Control angina pectoris ▪ Acute MI ▪ Management of CHF Prototype Nitrate: Nitroglycerin ▪ Nursing Implications ▪ Assessment ▪ VS ▪ Pain assessment ▪ Nursing Diagnoses ▪ Decreased cardiac output ▪ Anxiety ▪ Acute Pain Prototype Nitrate: Nitroglycerin ▪ Nursing Interventions ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ Monitor VS: Q5 min Positioning?
