Principles of Medication for Heart Failure

Heart failure generally refers to heart failure. The main principles of heart failure medication include cardiotonic, diuretic, vasodilator

, etc. 1.

Cardiac function in patients with cardiac failure will decline. Patients can use cardiotonic drugs to enhance the contractile ability of myocardial cells and increase cardiac stroke output, such as digoxin, dopamine, adrenaline, etc.

2. Diuretic

heart failure patients due to cardiac contraction and relaxation disorders, can lead to systemic circulation and pulmonary venous reflux disorders, causing limb edema and pulmonary edema. Patients need to use diuretics to eliminate edema, such as hydrochlorothiazide, furosemide, spironolactone, etc.

3. Vasodilator

heart failure patients use vasodilator drugs to increase cardiac stroke output, thereby reducing cardiac load, such as nitroglycerin, sodium nitroprusside, amlodipine, etc.
