1. Drugs Used in the
Management of
CONGESTIVE HEART
FAILURE
2.
3. Aims and Objectives
Congestive Heart Failure is one of the
common causes of death and disability,
and is among the syndromes
commonly encountered in clinical
practice.
4. Decreased cardiac out-put, a salient
feature of heart failure, is associated
with edema, ascites, pericardial and
plural effusion, reflex sympathetic over
activity, oliguria and dyspnoea.
5. Different classes of drugs i.e. Diuretics,
Vasodilators, Renin Angiotensin system
blockers and β-Adrenergic agonists and
antagonists, which are used in the
management of congestive heart failure, will
be discussed.
6. This lecture deals with various aspects of
the Pharamacology of Digoxin and related
drugs (positive inotropic agents).
7. The role of other classes of drugs will be
briefly reviewed in context of the treatment of
heart failure.

ETIOLOGY
Hypertension, Coronary Infarction; Congenital
Heart Disease. Cardiomyopathy
8. NOTE
Before initiating drug therapy for Heart
Failure, it is important to eliminate or mitigate
potentially reversible causes of cardiac
dysfunction i.e., Myocardial Ischemia, Valvular
heart disease, Hypertension, Intracardiac or
Intravascular Shunts, Cardiac Arrhythmias,
and Hyperthyroidism.

38. THERAPEUTIC USES
CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE
ATRIAL FIBRILLATION
Even in the absence of congestive heart
failure, Digitalis may be indicated in many
cases of atrial fibrillation. The inappropriately
rapid ventricular rate in this disorder results
in great discomfort.
39. The aim of Digitalis therapy is to reduce the
ventricular rate.
It rarely halts atrial fibrillation. The dosage
should be adjusted to maintain the
ventricular rate in the range of 60-80/mint.
OTHER DRGUS: Propranolol, Verapamil
40. ATRIAL FLUTTER
To decrease the ventricular rate
AV Node:
ERP
Digitalis may convert flutter in to
fibrillation. This too facilitates control of
ventricular rate
41.
If such conversion to fibrillation occurs,
withdrawal of Digitalis may result in the
return to Sinus Rhythm*.
*Danger of Embolism. A thrombus in auricles
may dislodge due to good contraction
42. PAROXYSMAL TACYHCARDIA
Atrial and AV nodal paroxysmal tachycardias
are the most common tachyarrhythmias next
to atrial fibrillation.
Digitalis is successful in terminating this
type of tachycardia by virtue of its vagal
effects (I/V administration).
43. Note: 1. Digoxin therapy is indicated in Severe Left
Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction.
2. Patients with mild to moderate heart failure
will often respond to ACE inhibitors and
Diuretics, and do not require Digoxin.
44. 3. It is no longer a first line agent in the
treatment of C.H.F. Reserved for patients
who are in atrial fibrillation or patients with
sinus rhythm who remain symptomatic
despite treatment with other drugs.
45. ADVERSE EFFECTS
HEART
Cardiac arrhythmias which under certain
circumstances are life threatening.
Sinus bradycardia, AV–block, Atrial
Fibrillation, Ventricular Extra Systoles,
Ventricular Fibrillation.
46. CNS DISTURBANCES
Characteristically altered color vision
(Xanthopsia). White borders or halos may
appear on dark objects.
Fatigue, disorientation, hallucinations,
delirium.
G.I.T
Anorexia, Nausea, Vomiting, Diarrhea.
47. OTHER EFFECTS:
Gynecomastia due to estrogenic effects; skin
rashes; hypokalaemia.
________________________________________
Delirium:- Fluctuating impairment of
consciousness and disorientation
Hallucinations:- False perceptions having no
external stimulus (visual, auditory)
48.

51. TOXICITY MANAGEMENT
1) Discontinue the drug
2)Ventricular arrhythmias: Lidocaine, Phenytoin
3) AV conduction delay:
Atropine
4)Hypokalaemia:
K+
52. 5)Anti-digoxin Immuno Therapy: Injection (IV)
of antibody (fab) fragments that bind with,
and inactivate Digoxin.
________________________________________
CAUTION:- Diuretics which produce
hypokalaemia
62. Steps in the Treatment of
Congestive Heart Failure
1. Reduce work load of the heart
a) Limit activity level
b) Reduce weight
c) Control hypertension
2. Restrict sodium
3. Restrict water (rarely required)
63. 4. Give ACE inhibitor or Digitalis *
5. Give β-blockers to selected patients
6. Give vasodilators
* Many clinicians use ACE inhibitors before
Digitalis.

acute severe heart failure with marked
pulmonary edema, which one of the following
drugs would be most useful?
a)
Digoxin
b)
Furosemide
c)
Minoxidil
d)
Propranolol
e)
Spironolactone
72. 4.
Which of the following is most likely to
contribute to the arrhythmogenic effect of
digoxin?
a)
Increased vagal discharge
b)
Increased intracellular calcium
c)
Decreased sympathetic discharge
d)
Increased extracellular magnesium
e)
Increased extracellular potassium
73. Drugs used in chronic heart failure
Loop diuretics, for example furosemide.
Angiotensin-converting
enzyme
inhibitors
(e.g.
ramipril).
Angiotensin II subtype 1 receptor antagonists (e.g.
valsartan, candesartan).
β-adrenoceptor
antagonists
(e.g.
metoprolol,
bisoprolol, carvedilol), introduced in low dose in
stable patients.
Aldosterone
receptor
antagonists
(e.g.
spironolactone, and eplerenone).
Digoxin especially for heart failure associated with
established rapid atrial fibrillation. It is also indicated in
patients who remain symptomatic despite optimal
treatment.
Organic nitrates (e.g. isosorbide mononitrate) reduce
preload, and hydralazine reduces afterload. Used in
combination, these prolong life in African-Americans.
