How long does the diuretic of heart failure patient take

summary

The emergence of heart failure, the damage to the heart, physical and mental health threat is great, we must pay attention to timely detection, diagnosis, treatment. So let's share how long the heart failure patients take diuretics.

How long does the diuretic of heart failure patient take

Drug one: a drug that acts on the heart. Most drugs that can cause sudden cardiac death belong to this category. Treatment of heart failure drugs such as digitalis, digoxin. At present, the treatment tends to be low-dose. If we overuse or use other drugs that can increase the blood concentration of digoxin at the same time, "digitalis poisoning" may occur, and then delay the treatment, which will lead to death due to ventricular fibrillation.

Drug 2: antiasthmatic drugs. Aminophylline is a drug that can effectively relieve the symptoms of asthma and asthmatic chronic bronchitis. Excessive use or rapid intravenous injection can lead to sinus tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation in patients with respiratory distress. Therefore, patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with arrhythmia should be careful with aminophylline. In addition, isoprenaline aerosol is widely used in asthmatic patients. It is quick and convenient. Because the action time is only about 1 hour, patients often need to use it repeatedly. But if overuse can improve myocardial excitability, even lead to ventricular fibrillation and sudden death. Patients with coronary heart disease and hyperthyroidism should be cautious.

Drug 3: antimalarial drugs. Chloroquine and chloroquine phosphate are effective antimalarial drugs, which have the effect similar to quinidine. Large dose of chloroquine and chloroquine phosphate can cause bradycardia, arrhythmia, blood pressure drop, and even cause acute cardiogenic cerebral hypoxia syndrome, leading to death. In addition, a large amount of medication during malaria attack can lead to irreversible shock and sudden death. Therefore, the drug is contraindicated for the elderly and patients with organic heart disease.

matters needing attention

In case of heart failure, physical activity should be stopped immediately, and 1 nitroglycerin tablet should be contained immediately under the tongue. If it is not relieved, it should be contained again every 5 minutes, and it is invalid for 3 consecutive times. If chest pain lasts for more than 15 minutes, it is possible to have heart failure, and it should be sent to the hospital and other emergency places immediately.
