    Study Notes

    Treatment for Heart Failure

    • Three key medications are used to treat heart failure: ARNI, diuretics, and BNP.

    ARNI

    • A special medication that helps the heart function better and reduces its workload.
    • Reduces a substance that increases the heart's burden and increases a protective substance that helps the heart relax and remove excess fluid.

    Diuretics

    • Medications that help the body remove excess fluid.
    • Used to reduce the accumulation of excess fluid in the body when the heart is not pumping effectively.

    BNP (Brain Natriuretic Peptide)

    • A natural substance produced by the heart in response to pressure.
    • Helps the body lower blood pressure and remove excess fluid, protecting the heart from excessive pressure.
