It's a medication that affects contraction of muscle tissue, most notably the heart.
Inotropic agents example are positive inotrops- digoxin, adrenaline, nor adrenaline,dopamine,dobutamine, amrinone, etc.
inotropic agent like digoxin help contract the heart muscles
No. It is a positive inotropic because it promotes anabolism.
An inotropic effect refers to the ability to alter the force of muscle contractions, such as in the heart. A positive inotropic effect increases contractility, while a negative inotropic effect decreases it. On the other hand, a chronotropic effect refers to the ability to alter the heart rate. A positive chronotropic effect increases heart rate, while a negative chronotropic effect decreases it.
Inotropic refers to the force of contraction of the heart muscle, while chronotropic refers to the heart rate. Inotropic agents affect the strength of the heart's contractions, while chronotropic agents affect the heart rate.
Inotropic effect refers to the ability of a drug or agent to alter the force of contraction of the heart muscle. Positive inotropic agents increase the force of contraction, while negative inotropic agents decrease it. These effects can affect cardiac output and overall heart function.
Digoxin is primarily an inotropic agent, meaning it helps to increase the contraction strength of the heart muscle. It can also have mild effects on chronotropy (heart rate) and dromotropy (conduction velocity) by slowing down the heart rate and conduction through the atrioventricular node.
increases the contractility of myocardial fibers
Michael Artman has written: 'Developmental Changes in Myocardial Inotropic Responsiveness'
Inotropic drugs affect the force of contraction. Chronotropic affect the rate of contraction.

No, they are drugs that counteract the effect of catecholamines between synapses and suppress inotropic effect of the heart muscle
