Positive inotropes and negative inotropes are the two types of inotropic drugs. Positive inotropes boost the strength of the heartbeat
Inotrops and Vasopressors classification Another classification: A. inotropes are agents that increase myocardial contractility (inotropy)
Inotropic agents, or inotropes, are a class of drugs used to treat various heart diseases. Basically, inotropes change the force of your heart contraction. There are two kinds of inotropes: Positive inotrope: strengthen the force of the heartbeat. Negative inotrope: weaken the force of the heartbeat. Inotropic agents are drugs that affect the
Amiodarone is a cardiac glycoside antiarrhythmic and inotrope which defies Vaughan Williams classification. By inhibiting Na/K ATPase
Inotropic, Chronotropic and Dromotropic are different types of cardiac drugs. This classification is based on the way these drugs are used for the treatment of a particular condition. Inotropic drugs affect the force of cardiac contraction. Chronotropic drugs affect the heart rate.
