Heart Failure
HF Drugs
Angina
Thyroid
Diabetes
100

Heart failure happens when the heart cannot pump enough of this.

Cardiac output

100

Low levels of this electrolyte increase the risk of digoxin toxicity.

Potassium
100

These arteries supply blood (and therefore oxygen) to the heart muscle.

Coronary arteries

100

High TSH and low thyroid hormones indicate this condition.

Hypothyroidism

100

This hormone lowers blood sugar.

Insulin

200

This HF type has a normal EF but trouble filling the ventricle.

Diastolic HF (HFpEF)

200

Digoxin helps the heart pump better by increasing this.

Contractility

200

This type of angina happens with activity and stops with rest.

Stable angina

200

This synthetic T4 medication is the most common thyroid replacement.

Levothyroxine

200

This classic triad includes polyuria, polydipsia, and polyphagia.

Hyperglycemia

300

An EF less than 40% indicates this type of heart failure. 

Systolic HF (HFrEF)

300

Digoxin increases this mineral inside heart cells to improve contraction.

Calcium

300

Nitrates must never be taken with this class of drugs.

PDE5 inhibitors (tadalafil, sildenafil, etc.)

300

This hormone raises calcium levels when they are low.

Parathyroid hormone (PTH)

300

Rapid‑acting insulin should be taken around this time.

Right before meals

400

This hormone system is targeted by ACEs, ARBs, and ARNIs.

Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS)

400

A patient with nausea, vomiting, and vision changes may have toxicity from this drug.

Digoxin

400

This nitrate is commonly used under the tongue for quick relief.

Nitroglycerin

400

The thyroid gland needs this mineral to make T3 and T4.

Iodine

400

Sulfonylureas lower blood sugar by stimulating this organ.

Pancreas

500

A normal ejection fraction is between these two percentages.

55-70%

500

This IV‑only drug is used short‑term for severe HF when other meds fail.

Milrinone

500

Beta blockers help angina by lowering this.

Heart rate

500

This autoimmune disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism.

Graves' disease

500

This life‑threatening complication of Type 1 diabetes causes fruity breath and deep breathing.

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)
