Drugs used in the Treatment of MI MI is a myocardial Infarction. Heart attacks occurs because a arterial plaque raptures and triggers the coagulation cascade completely occudding a coronary artery. This cause necrosis of the heart muscle. If not treated MI result in death from cardiogenic shock Even if treat mortality is high from secondary ventricular fibrillation Even if treated, patient will suffer irrevocable heart damage resulting in CHF and/or damage to cardiac conduction system leading to pacemaker or ICD placement The main goal is to relieve the blood vessel of the clot and reestablish coronary blood flow Can use clot busters drugs or have percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) which the femoral artery undergo catherization and a probe is guide to the site of occlusion and a ballon is inflated to push aside the clot 43

Drug used in the treatment of Atrial Fibrillation Atrial Fibrillation is a heart rate disturbance in which the atrium/ atria are beating extremely rapidly Can lead to cardiogenic shock if the rate reaches the ventricles Therapy is aimed blocking this rate disturbance from reaching the ventricles (called rate control), preventing blood clots in the heart muscle wall from forming embolus (anticoagulation), and eventual cardioversion Rate control Diltiazem Verapamil Beta blockers Amiodarone Anticoagulation Warfarin Apixaban (Eliquis) Cardioversion Ibutilide (Tikosyn) High dose Amiodarone 45

Ventricular Fibrillation Ventricular Fibrillation, VF, is a cardiac arrythmia where the ventricles beat extremely rapidly to the point where no coordinated contraction occurs Medical emergency VF lasting more than the 90 seconds leads to asystole, sudden cardiac death and cardiogenic shock. Brain death from cerebral hypoxia Therapy Direct DC shock with ACD: delivery of DC shock with about 360 Joules of electricity to bring about normal sinus rhythm. Best chance at survival but not always successful Drug treatment used in conjunction with ACD if shock initially unsuccessful Amiodarone: 300 mg IV push with 150 mg IV supplemental doses Lidocaine: 100 mg IV push Epinephrine or Atropine can be tried after failed attempts at shock Other drugs include calcium chloride 10%, magnesium sulfate and vasopressin 46

The renal system. 51

The Renal System Composed of two kidneys, two ureters, one bladder, and the urethra Filtering system of the kidneys is composed of millions of nephrons Waste from food and drug metabolization is filtered through the nephrons Wastes exit the kidneys as urine via the ureters Ureters lead to the bladder, where urine is stored until released The kidneys are located in the posterior abdomen just above the waist 52

Nephron Smallest, most basic part of the kidney Filters the blood that passes through the kidneys Produces urine through the processes of filtration, reabsorption, and secretion Enables blood to reabsorb water, electrolytes, and nutrients 53

Kidney and Bladder Kidney Built almost entirely of nephrons Organ that filters blood and produces urine Urine produced by the kidneys is conducted to the bladder Bladder Organ used for waste storage Can collect approximately 350 mL to 500mL of urine Allows for discretionary voiding 54

Drugs for Kidney Disorders Failing kidneys cause disorders relating to retention of toxins in the blood, acidity and electrolytes abnormalities Kidney disorders effects blood potassium, calcium, phosphate levels, and levels of various hormones in the body. Patients have high PTH levels Low vitamin D levels Low erythropoetin levels Patients have high levels of urea and other nitrogenous toxin that causes damage to the CNS 55
