Offered By: Speed Pharmacology via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the complexities of heart failure and its pharmacological management in this comprehensive 17-minute video. Learn about the different types of heart failure, the body's compensatory mechanisms, and the various drug classes used in treatment. Delve into the mechanisms of action for beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors, aldosterone antagonists, loop diuretics, vasodilators, and cardiac glycosides. Gain a deeper understanding of the heart and circulatory system, sympathetic activation, RAAS activation, and the role of natriuretic peptides in heart failure management.
