, Cardiac drugs
Cardiac glycoside
Cardiac glycosides are the most effective drugs for treatment of C.H.F.
Digitoxins are plant alkaloids.
They increase myocardial contractions, which will increase blood supply to all
organs including the kidneys therefore causing diuresis, which will decrease
the edema.
They are used to treat cardiac arrhythmia because they decrease heart rate.
Action:
They increase the force of myocardial contractions (positive inotropic).
It increases the contractility of the heart muscle by minimizing the movement
of Na+ and K+ ions and increasing the release of Ca++ ions in the myocardial
cells.
It decreases the heart rate due to increase in parasympathetic nervous system
and decrease in the sympathetic tone.
They are primarily excreted through the kidneys.
The initial dose is the larger dose (the loading or digitalizing dose), the
subsequent doses are referred to as (Maintenance doses).
Results:
Decrease in venous pressure.
Coronary dilatation.
Reduce heart size.
Marked diuresis and decreasing edema.
Indications:
1. Congestive heart failure (C.H.F).
2. Cardiac arrhythmia (atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter and sinus tachycardia).
Contraindication:
1. Hypersensitivity.
2. Angina pectoris in absence of CHF.
3. Given with caution for elderly and people who have kidney failure.
Side effects:
1. They are extremely toxic and may cause death.
