Cardiac-stimulant glycosides and drugs of similar action - what does this mean

Cardiac-stimulant glycosides and drugs of similar action are drugs that act on the heart to increase its contractility, thereby increasing the output of blood. they work by increasing the availability of calcium ions in the heart muscle, which increases the force of contraction. these drugs can be used to treat heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias, and shock.

What happens during the disease - cardiac-stimulant glycosides and drugs of similar action

Cardiac-stimulant glycosides and drugs of similar action act on the heart by increasing the force of contraction and rate of heart beat. this is achieved by blocking the re-uptake of potassium ions into the cells of the heart, allowing the sodium-potassium pump to be activated, resulting in increased intracellular calcium which further enhances the force of contraction. this action increases the cardiac output and leads to an increased heart rate.

How does a doctor diagnose

  • Physical examination
  • Blood tests
  • Echocardiogram
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG)
  • Stress test
  • Imaging tests (X-ray, CT scan, or MRI)
  • Cardiac catheterization
  • Cardiac biopsy

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal of the treatment: To improve the heart's pumping action
  • Prescribing cardiac-stimulant glycosides and drugs of similar action
  • Monitoring patient's response to drugs
  • Adjusting the dosage of the drugs as needed
  • Providing lifestyle advice, such as reducing salt intake and exercising regularly
  • Monitoring the patient's blood pressure and heart rate
  • Providing counselling and support to help the patient cope with the condition
  • Referring the patient to a cardiologist for further tests and treatment
