Chronic Heart Failure Toolkit Ce

Electrolytes, particularly potassium, should be checked at baseline 7 within 1 week of initiation and any changes in dose. Spironolactone (and eplerenone) are potassium sparring diuretics. Physical signs of hyperkalemia may include muscle weakness.

Ibuprofen and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can have negative effects on the cardiovascular system, including increasing the risk of heart failure or worsening existing heart failure. Therefore, it is important to inform SD that ibuprofen and NSAIDs are contraindicated in patients with heart failure, and she should avoid using them.

Captopril is dosed three times daily. Lisinopril is also an approved ACE-inhibitor for CHF, but it is only dosed once daily. Changes such as these can greatly reduce patient pill burden, thereby increasing adherence.

Acetaminophen is the best pharmacologic option for treating the symptoms of osteoarthritis because it is a commonly recommended first-line treatment for mild to moderate pain associated with this condition. It is effective in reducing pain and inflammation, and it has a lower risk of gastrointestinal side effects compared to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen, naproxen, and celecoxib. Acetaminophen is also considered safe for long-term use when taken at recommended doses.

Yes. The presentation provided a list of monitoring parameters for medications used in the treatment of heart failure.

It is not clear from the question what the presenter was presenting or the context of the situation. Without more information, it is impossible to determine whether the presenter was free of bias or not.

Yes. The presentation defined key terms used in the diagnosis and symptom management of heart failure.

Yes. The presentation provided an explanation of the mechanism of heart failure disease progression. It likely included information about the underlying causes of heart failure, such as hypertension or coronary artery disease, and how these conditions can lead to structural and functional changes in the heart. It may have also discussed the role of neurohormonal activation, inflammation, and oxidative stress in exacerbating heart failure. Overall, the presentation likely provided a comprehensive understanding of the disease progression in heart failure.

Yes. The presentation successfully described the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association staging of heart failure.

Yes. The presentation successfully identified a typical medication profile for a patient with heart failure due to ischemic cardiomyopathy.
