Q

what do direct vasodilators do for HTN?

A

relaxing vascular smooth muscle, dilating resistence
results: reduces pressure, increase capacitance

Q

What do sympathoplegic agents do for HTN?

A

reducing peripheral vascular resistance, inhibiting cardiac function, increasing venous pooling in vessels
results: lower BP, (reduce cardiac output)

Q

what do diuretics do for HTN?

A

depeletes the body of sodium
result: reduces blood volume and lowers BP

Q

what do agents that block production or action of angiotensin do for HTN

A

block or reduce angiontensin
result: reduce peripheral vascular resistance and blood volume
