What is the goal of combined dopamine and nitroprusside therapy?

Dopamine vasoconstricts, so it increases the blood pressure in cardiogenic shock. Nitroprusside is a vasodilator, it decreases preload (left ventricular stretch) and afterload (resistance). They are used in combination in cardiogenic shock to achieve a good hemodynamic effect or "good balance" or adequate blood flow.


How can medication cause hypothyroidism?

Nitroprusside, lithium, or iodides can induce hypothyroidism. Because patients who use these medications are closely monitored by their doctors, this side effect is very rare.


Effect of increased vasoconstriction on afterload?

Increased vasoconstriction leads to an increase in afterload, which is the resistance the heart must overcome to eject blood from the left ventricle. As a result, the heart has to work harder to pump blood against the increased resistance, which can lead to increased myocardial oxygen demand and potentially contribute to the development of heart failure over time.
