17
Q

carvedilol

A

alpha and beta blocker

18
Q

3rd generation beta blockers

A

have mechanisms for vasodilation

calcium block, NO production, beta2 agonist activity, antioxidant

19
Q

patient with HTN and bronchospasm, DM, PVD, or raynauds

A

use beta1 selective antagonist

20
Q

beta antagonists

A

stronger effects when sympathetic activity is tonically increased
-ex/ exercise

21
Q

beta blockers

A

slow conduction in atria and AV node
-increased refractory period of AV node

reduced work of heart and O2 consumption

22
Q

labetalol and carvedilol

A

beta blockers AND alpha1 blockers

CO maintained with large fall in peripheral resistance

23
Q

beta blockers as antihypertensives

A

don’t decrease BP in normal patients

-but pt with HTN - do decreased BP

24
Q

renin release

A

beta1 - blocked by beta antagonists

25
Q

pindolol

A

no effect on plasma renin activity

26
Q

exacerbation of HF in patients with HF, acute MI, or cardiomegaly

A

with beta blocker use

27
Q

prolonged life in HF patients

A

chronic beta-blockers

28
Q

verapamil and beta blockers

A

may lead to AV conduction defects

29
Q

abrupt discontinuation of beta blockers

A

exacerbate angina
-increase risk of sudden death

bc of upregulation of beta receptors

30
Q

decreased exercise tolerance

A

with beta blockers

31
Q

careful use of beta blockers

A

diabetics and asthmatics

32
Q

clinical use of beta-blockers

A

HTN - slow decreased TPR
IHD
CHF - improve morbidity and mortality
arrhythmias

33
Q

ischemic heart disease

A

beta blocker

-reduced cardiac work and O2 consumption

34
Q

sinus tachycardia and supraventricular ectopic beat

A

beta blocker treatment

35
Q

thyrotoxicosis

A

hyperthyroid pt have increased beta receptor sensivitity
-Tx - beta blockers

reduce sensitivity of myocardium to adrenergic stimulation in hyperthyroid patients **

36
Q

beta blockers

A

oral drugs

high first pass - propranolol

37
Q

beta blocker effect

A

depend on existing sympathetic tone

38
Q

beta1 blockers

A

less effect on exercise tolerance

39
Q

catecholamines during exercise or stress

A

increase work of heart and myocardial O2 demand

40
Q

myocardial oxygen demand

A

decreased with beta blockers

net effect - improve relationship between cardiac supply and demand

41
Q

antihypertensive effects of betablockers

A

effective Tx for HTN

-mechanism not well understood

42
Q

pindolol

A

antihypertensive with no effect on renin levels
