Q

Three ways we control renin release

A
  1. NaCl reabsorption at MD
  2. BP in Preglomerular vessels

Q

Vascular and cardiac effects of AT2

A

Vascular and Cardiac hypertrophy and remodeling

20
Q

Mechanisms that lead to CV hypertroph. and remodeling

A
  1. Nonhemodynnamic = increased proto-oncogene, GF’s, and ECF synthesis
  2. Hemodynamic = Increased afterload, wall tension
21
Q

Three classes that acct in RAAS inhibition

A

Direct renin inhibitors

Ace inhibitors

Ang. receptor blockers

22
Q

ACE inhibitor general classes

A

Sulfhydryl-containing

Dicarboxyl-containing

Phosphorous-containing

23
Q

All of the ACE inhibitors are

A

competitive inhibitors

24
Q

ACEi prevents _____ in the other “arm” of the pathway

A

breakdown of bradykinin

builds up and promotes vasodilation

25
Q

____ will reduce the effectiveness of the ACE inhibitors

A

NSAIDs

Because it takes out the vasodilating arm (bradykinin)

26
Q

Captopril is a

A

active site inhibitor

Short half life

absorption reduced by food

27
Q

AE’s for captopril

A

ALtered taste and rash

28
Q

Hepatic-metabolized ACE inhibitor

A

Moexipril

(preferred for patients with renal failure)

29
Q

Enalopril is a ____

Half life

Admistration

A
  • Dicarboxyl-containing group Prodrug (needs hydrolysis of ethyl ester to form diacid form Enalaprilat)
  • 11 hours
  • Parenteral = enaliprilat
30
Q

Lisinopril is a _

A

Dicarboxyl-containing ACE inhibitor

(Lysine derivaive of enalaprilat)

Active molecule

31
Q

Fosinopril is what group/type of drug?

Metabolism

A

Phosphinate-containing ACEinh. , Prodrug of Fosinoprilat

Exttensive hepatic metabolism with excretion in urine and bile

32
Q

AE that is also due to bradykinin effect of ACE inhibitors

A

Angioedema

35
Q

DDIs for ACEi

A

Antacids (reduce BA)

NSAIDs

K supps

Digoxin/lithium need to be monitored

36
Q

CI’s for ACEi

A

A

effects of Angiotensin 2

  • Pressor
  • NE stim
  • aldosterone secretion
  • Effects on renal vasculature
  • Growth promoting effects on cardiac and vascuar tissue
40
