🧵 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. Save this. Share it. Your patients’ kidneys will thank you. 🫀🩺 #Cardiology #Nephrology #HeartFailure #CKD #SGLT2i #GLP1 #MedEd #CardioreналSyndrome
