Name the Congenital Heart Defect:
Narrowing of entrance of pulmonary artery or valve
🡫
Decreased blood flow to lungs
🡫
Increased preload, causing right ventricular hypertrophy
🡫
Regurgitation into right atrium, increasing likelihood of patent foramen ovale (R to L shunt)
🡫
venous congestion, decreased CO, heart failure
Pulmonic Stenosis

Digoxin is one the medications indicated for CHF. What is testing in needed prior to starting Digoxin?
(Double points if you can name the other 3 meds are indicated for CHF)
Baseline ECG , serum electrolytes, assess vital signs and quality of peripheral pulses
Double points
Digoxin 🡪 increases contractility and decreases heart rate
Beta Blockers 🡪 increases contractility and decreases heart rate
ACE-inhibitors 🡪 arterial vasodilator, afterload reducing agent
Diuretics 🡪 enhance renal secretion of sodium and water thereby reducing circulating blood volume, decreasing preload and pulmonary congestion
( PPT Cardio Slide 26, 29)
