Q

How to reduce ischemia?

A
  • Decrease heart O2 demand = decrease HR

* less wall tension = less O2 demand

Q

NO = Venodilate, preload will

A

Decrease

Volume down—> tension down——> less O2 demand —> less ischemia

Q

NO does

A
  • dilates VENULES
  • Decreases preload
  • Vasodilates large epicardial coronary arterioles ONLY not all small downstream arteries (only ischemic area gets higher flow - it is sending out K+/adenosine signals to dilate)
  • Decrease LV pressure, so MORE DIASTOLIC pressure

26
Q

BBlocker mech

A

Reducing contraction/contractility = less O2 demand

Reduce HR

Preload increases = need combo therapy, must decrease preload

27
Q

Bblocker improve mortality over CCB w/ angina?

28
Q

BBlockers improve mortality in

A

Hypertension

Prior MI

29
Q

B2 only activated when

A

In high epi release from adrenaline, so no reg hypertension from B2

30
Q

Nitrate w/ ED in emergency

A

*just give it and monitor

31
Q

How to decrease BP?

A
  • DOWN CO = down SV

* DOWN TPR = relaxation of vessels

32
Q

Decrease preload (volume)?

33
Q

HTCZ

Mech

A
  • Inhibits Na-Cl co-transport in DCT, pee alot

* UP vascular resistance, down afterload

34
Q

HCTZ

Contraindication/SE

A

*impaired renal

SE:

  • sexual impotence
  • UP K loss (arrythmia, fibrillation)
35
Q

HCTZ

K+ effect?

A

Loss in collecting duct, exchange w/ Na+

36
Q

K-sparring

A

Amiloride

+ HCTZ

37
Q

Block venous tone? =(down preload)

A 
ACE inhibitor (catopril)
*less angiotensin 2

ARBs (losartan)

AT1 receptor

38
Q

ACE inhibitor

S.E.

A

ACE also breaks down bradykinin = build up —->

Dry cough

Risk: Angioedema
Contraindicated : preg, bilateral renal stenosis

39
Q

ACE inhibitors use

A
  • Regress LV hypertrophy
  • Prevent/delay HF + MI
  • slow renal dz = DM patients
40
Q

ARB

Contraindications

A

No pregger

No bilateral renal artery stenosis

41
Q

CCB - anti-HTN

Mech

A

Down HR, contractility

42
Q

Low renin populations w/ HTN? AA/ elderly

A

CCBs

NOT BBlocker

43
Q

Direct vasodilators (aterial) (HTN)

Rx

A
  • Hydralazine
  • Minoxidil
  • Sodium Nitroprusside

RISK: reflex tach, renin, fluid retension = ischemia

44
Q

Reduce TPR = a1 blocker

A

Prazosin

S.E.= 1st dose phenomenon, Na/water retention, not good monotherapy

ALSO - good in prostatic hyperplasia/bladder obstruction

45
Q

A2 agonists (HTN)

Rx

A
  • methydopa
  • clonidine

REDUCE BRAINSTEM ACTIVITY CONTROLLING SYMPATHETIC

46
Q

BBlocker (HTN)

Mech

A
  • Lower HR+contractility (B1) = DOWN SV = DOWN CO = Down BP

* Lower renin secretion = DOWN Ang II

47
Q

BBlocker (htn)

Rx

A

Propranolol

48
Q

Guanethidine/Reserpine
Adrenergic inhibitors

Mech

49
Q

Guanethidine

S.E.

A
  • Postural HypoTN
  • Retrograde ejaculation
  • diarrhea
50
Q

Reserpine

S.E.

A

CNS

  • sedation
  • inability to concentrate
  • severe depression
51
Q

Methyldopa/Clonidine

S.E.

A
  • Methyldopa = immunological abnormalities
  • BOTH Methyldopa/Clonidine = dizziness, reduced libido, sedation, depression

POOR COMPLIANCE

52
Q

Pregnancy w/ HTN?

A

Methyldopa

NO ACEI, AngII receptor blockers

53

Spironolactone?

A

Aldosterone blocker - Tx HTN

54
Q

Initial Rx choice
