Across
  1. 3. Loop diuretic that increases fluid excretion by inhibiting sodium reabsorption.
  2. 4. Inhibitors Promotes glucose and sodium excretion to reduce fluid overload.
  3. 7. Arterial vasodilator that reduces afterload in heart failure patients.
  4. 8. Reduces heart rate by inhibiting the 'funny' current in the heart.
  5. 10. Phosphodiesterase inhibitor that increases cardiac contractility.
  6. 13. Increases cGMP and reduces myocardial remodeling.
  7. 14. Blockers Reduces heart rate and blood pressure, improving heart failure outcomes.
  8. 15. Beta-adrenergic agonist that increases cardiac output in acute heart failure.
Down
  1. 1. Venous vasodilator that reduces preload in heart failure.
  2. 2. Blocks angiotensin II receptors, reducing vasoconstriction.
  3. 5. Increases intracellular calcium, improving cardiac contractility in heart failure.
  4. 6. Potassium-sparing diuretic that blocks aldosterone receptors.
  5. 9. Inhibitors Prevents the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, reducing vasoconstriction.
  6. 11. Inhibits neprilysin to reduce sodium retention and vasoconstriction.
  7. 12. Blocks angiotensin II receptors, reducing the effects of RAAS in heart failure.
