Antihypertensive Agents Flashcards
ACE inhibitors
Captopril, enalapril enalaprilat perindopril
AT1receptor blocker (ARB)
Valsartan
Calcium channel blockers dihydropiridine
Nifedipine and amlodipine
Selective Alpha 1 adrenoreceptor antagonist
Doxazosin
Selective alpha 1 and non selective beta adrenoreceptor antagonist
Labetalol and carvedilol
Beta adrenoreceptor antagonist
2.metoprolol, bisoprolol 3-nebivolol
Selective central alpha 2 adrenoreceptor agonist
Methyldopa
Central alpha 2 and imidazolin I1 receptor agonists
Clonidine
Selective imidazolin I1 receptor agonists (SIRA)
Moxonidine
NO modulators
Sodium nitroprusside and glyceril trinitrate
Factors determining BP
CMV, Circulating blood volume,TPR
CMV=
SV *HR
SV is dependent on
Contractility,Preload and afterload
Major BP regulator system
ANS,RAAS,local chemicalediators I’m the endothelium
Vasomotor centre control
CMV and vascular tone
BP can be increased by
Increased Preload,afterload and CMV
Preload and afterload can be increased by
Stimulation of postsynaptic as alpha 1 adrenoreceptor
If drug induced reduction in vascular tone, compensatory mechanism is
Increase HR
If drug induced reduction in CMV, compensatory mechanism is
Vasoconstriction
——system is slower than ANS in regulation of BP
RAAS
RAAS system increase BP by
Vasoconstriction and increasing circulating blood volume
Activators of Renin
Decrease in blood pressure, decreased blood flow in renal, decreased na in distal tubules, sympathetic nervous system stimulation
Angiotensin in AT 1 receptor cause
Increase in ROS,Inc in SNS,Inc Vasoconstriction,Inc in synthesis of ADH and Inc in ventricular hypertrophy
Angiotensin 2 in AT2RECETOPR
Inc in NO,Inc in Na excretion,reduced endothelial hypoxic injury, decrease BP inhibits vascular growth
Late compensatory antihypertensive response is
Structural remodelling or cardiovascular remodeling
Primary antihypertensive drug groups
ACE1,ARB, BAB, calcium channel blockers, Diuretic agents
Secondary antihypertensive agents
Centrally (SIRA, alpha 2 adrenoreceptor agonist); Peripheral (alpha 1 adrenoreceptor antagonist, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist)
Hypotensive activity of drug is done by
Reduction of preload, afterload and CMV
Reduction in preload can be done by
Venodilation and reduction in circulating blood volume
Reduction of afterload can be done by
Arteriodilation
Reduction in CMV can be done by
Negative chronotropy and inotropy
ACE inhibitors cause
Venous and arterial dilation,so decrease heart afterload and preload, decrease aldosterone secretion, decrease cardiovascular remodeling
Captopril is
Short acting
Enalaprilat is given as
Iv
Enalapril and perindopril are
Prodrug
Use of ACE inhibitors
Arterial hypertension,CHF, Coronary heart disease, Diabetic nephropathy (captopril)
SE of ACE inhibitors are
Dry cough (due to inc bradykinin), Hyperkalemia (due to decrease aldosterone), teratogenic
AT 1 blockers doesn’t affect
Bradykinin metabolism
AT receptor blockers are
Valsartan, candesartan and losartan
Use of AT 1 receptor blockers are
AH and CHF
SE of AT 1 receptor blockers ,
Hyperkalemia , teratogenic
Calcium channel blockers are
Arterial vasodilators (relaxes smooth muscles in heart and vessels), decrease afterload
Eg of calcium channel blockers are
Nifedipine amlodipine nicardipine
Duration of amlodipine is
24hr
Clinical use of calcium channel blockers
AH, Coronary heart Disease, prevention of stable angina pectoris attack
SE of calcium channel blockers
Constipation and peripheral edema (ankles)
3rd gen BAB
Nebivolol, carvedilol, labetalol
1st and 2nd gen BAB can cause
Reflex vasoconstriction
Action of BAB
Dec in CMV by Dec HR and contractility;Dec Renin secretion, peripheral arterial vasodilation (3 rd gen)
Action of Diuretics
Acts on loops and decrease circulating blood volume,long term affects vascular smooth muscles
SE of doxazosin
First dose orthostatic hypotension and syncope and reflector tachycardia
Centrally acting antihypertensive agents doesn’t cause
Reflex tachycardia
I1 receptor are located in
RVLM of medulla oblongata
SIRA action
Decrease SNS activity
Use of SIRA
AH and metabolic syndrome
which drug has equal affinity to alpha 2 adrenoreceptor and I1 receptor
Clonidine
Use of clonidine
Antihypertensive therapy in urgent situations
SE of clonidine
Bradycardia, sedation, dryness of mouth
Methyldopa (cross BBB) use
Gestational hypertension
Sodium nitroprusside (short acting vasodilatory)-decrease heart afterload and preload) use
Hypertensive emergency
Combined alpha and beta adrenoreceptor blocker
Labetalol
Labetalol use
Hypertensive emergency and urgency
