Study Notes
Adverse Effects of Medications
- Angiotensin-receptor blockers (ARBs) can cause persistent dry cough as an adverse effect
Treatment of Heart Failure
- ACE Inhibitors are used to treat heart failure by increasing plasma volume
- Diuretics are used to treat heart failure by decreasing plasma volume and subsequently increasing venous return to the heart
- Beta Adrenoreceptor Blockers are used to treat heart failure by suppressing the sympathetic nervous system
Incorrect Information
- Arrhythmics are not used to treat heart failure by increasing plasma volume (note: Arrhythmics are actually used to treat abnormal heart rhythms, not to increase plasma volume)
