CHF Treatment Drugs Guide

This document discusses drugs used to treat congestive heart failure (CHF). The therapeutic goals for CHF are to increase cardiac muscle strength and decrease extracellular fluid volume. Drugs used include diuretics to reduce preload and edema; vasodilators to decrease afterload and increase cardiac output; and inotropic agents like glycosides to increase contractility and cardiac output. Common side effects of glycosides include gastrointestinal issues, visual disturbances, and cardiac arrhythmias. Drug interactions and narrow therapeutic index require monitoring glycoside levels. Loop diuretics, thiazide diuretics, ACE inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, and vasodilators are also discussed as treatments for CHF.
