🧵 Cardiorenal pharmacotherapy cheat-sheet — 5 drug classes, one visual.
RAASi | ARNI | SGLT2i | ns-MRA | GLP-1 RA
Key patterns worth knowing:
• 4 of 5 reduce MACE or HFH
• All 5 slow eGFR decline or cut albuminuria
• Hyperkalemia risk: RAASi, ARNI, ns-MRA
• SGLT2i → genital infections | GLP-1 RA → GI side effects
Hemodynamics snapshot:
↓ eGFR on initiation is expected with most — don’t panic, it’s often renoprotective long-term.
ARNI is the outlier: eGFR no change, but watch UACR.
