29
Q

antihypertensive drug

30
Q

antihypertensive drug; also treats BPH; only used in Europe

31
Q

alpha and beta blocking capability

32
Q

an antidepressant that blocks alpha receptors

33
Q

Alpha 2 selective agent with no specific clinical values as of yet

34
Q

adrenal tumor characterized by episodic release of Epi (80%) and NE (20%)

A

Pheochromocytoma

35
Q

What is Labetalol still used for in emergencies?

A

hypertensive emergency

36
Q

What beta-receptor blocking drugs have intrinsic sympathomimetic properties?

A

partial agonsists

37
Q

T/F Beta Receptor Blocking Drugs that are selective for B1 vs B2 are dose related. Selectivity decreases at higher doses.

38
Q

What do all beta receptor blocking drugs have in common?

A

They all treat hypertension

39
Q

What ethnic class are beta receptor blocking drugs less efficacious in?

A

African Americans & Elderly

40
Q

What class of drugs has been shown to decreases portal vein pressure in patients with cirrhosis?

A

Beta receptor blocking drugs

41
Q

How do beta receptor blocking drugs effect blood pressure?

A

when used chronically beta receptor blocking drugs lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension

42
Q

T/F When given chronically, beta receptor blocking drugs will give lower BP in patients with hypertension, inhibit renin release, and always causes hypotension in a healthy individual.

A

FALSE! usually DONT cause hypotension in healthy individual

43
Q

WHen are cardiovascular effects of beta blockers most strongly indicated?

A

in the acute phase of a heart attatck

44
Q

What type of arrhythmias are beta blockers used to treat?

A

supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias

45
Q

What are valuable for the heart following MI, angina, and CHF? (congestive heart failure)

A

Beta Blockers

46
Q

T/F Beta Blockers have positive ionotropic and negative chronotropic effects. Most cause tachycardia.

A

FALSEEE!!!

  1. negative ionotropic & negative chronotropic effects
  2. Most cause BRADYCARDIA
47
Q

T/F Beta Blockers lead to decreased air resistance, especially in patients with asthma.

A

FALSE!

increased airway resistance, especially with pt’s with asthma

48
Q

What beta receptors are present in the bronchi?

49
Q

Should beta blockers be avoided in asthmatics? why?

A

YES! they should be avoided, because the receptors are not completely selective.

50
Q

What type of patient with a respiratory disease could tolerate beta blockers? why?

A

Patients with COPD however may tolerate the drugs and risk/benefit ratio needs to be considered.
i.e. a patient with COPD and severe ischemic heart disease

51
Q

What is the opthalmic effect of beta blockers?

A

reduce ocular pressure, especially in the eyes of patients with glaucoma

52
Q

What is the mechanism of the opthalmic effect of beta blockers?

A

they decreases the production of aqueous humor

53
Q

What receptor inhibits the stimulation of lipolysis?

54
Q

How do beta blockers effect cholesterol?

A 
decrease HDL (the good cholesterol) and increase VLDL
--may be less with ISA
55
Q

Due to the effects that beta blockers have on CHOLESTEROL .. what pt’s should AVOID using beta blockers?

A

patients with CVD risk

56
Q

What is partially inhibited by beta blockers?

A

gycogenolysis

57
Q

Due to the effect that beta blockers have on glycogenolysis, what patients should avoid using beta blockers?

A

Diabetic patients, because glycogenolysis is the bodies defense against hypoglycemia

58
Q

What is the prototypical beta blocking drug?

A

Propanolol (Inderal)

59
Q

T/F Propanolol (Inderal) is selective for B1 receptors.

A

False - nonselective among beta receptor subtypes

60
Q

What is used in patients who have had an IM to prolong survival and protect the heart?

A

Propanolol (Inderal)

61
Q

T/F Propanolol (Inderal) has little effect on alpha receptors.

62
Q

What can be used during thyroid storm (severe hyperthyroidism) to control supraventricular tachycardia?

A

Propanolol (Inderal)

63
Q

T/F Propanolol (Inderal) is useless against migraines.

A

false- can reduce the frequency and intensity of migraines

64
Q

What is useful in patients who have suffered ischemic heart damage and also with CHF? What receptor is it selective for?

A

metoprolol (Lopressor) and Atenolol - B-1 selective drugs

65
Q

What beta blocker is safer to use in patient who suffer from asthma or COPD?

A

Metoprolol (Lopressor) & Atenoldol

66
Q

T/F Metoprolol (Lopressor), Atenolol, and Propanolol are useful in treating migraines.

67
Q

What is the most selective beta 1 antagonist?

68
Q

What are the 3 things associated with Nebivolol?

A
  1. vasodilator by increasing endothelial NO production
  2. increase insulin sensitivity
  3. No adverse effect on lipid profile
69
