A

edema, heart failure, HTN, acute renal failure, anion overdose, hypercalcemic states

24
Q

thiazide diuretics MOA

*chlorthalidone and HCTZ

A

inhibit Na/Cl cotransporter in DCT. Results in:
high luminal Na+ and Cl-
increased reabsorption of Ca2+ in DCT and PCT

25
Q

thiazide diuretic indications

A

HTN, mild heart failure, nephrolithiasis, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus

26
Q

thiazide diuretic adverse effects

A

hyperglycemia (DM relative contraindication), hyperlipidemia

27
Q

K+-sparing diuretics MOA

  • spironolactone (mineralocorticoid recepter (MR) antagonist)
  • amiloride (ENaC inhibitor)
A

decreased reabsorption of Na+ > decreased excretion of K+

28
Q

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors

A

*captopril
*enalapril
benazepril
enalaprilat
fosinopril
lisinopril
moexipril
perindopril
quinapril
ramipril
trandolapril

29
Q

Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs)

A

*losartan
*valsartan
azilsartan
candesartan
eprosartan
irbesartan
olmesartan
telmisartan

30
Q

Drugs that block renin secretion

A

clonidine

propranolol

31
Q

Renin inhibitors

A

aliskiren

32
Q

ACE inhibitors MOA

*captopril and enalapril

A

inhibit conversion of ANG I to ANG II and prevent degradation of bradykinin and other vasodilators

33
Q

ACE inhibitor indications

A

HTN, heart failure, left ventricular dysfunction, prophylaxis for future cardiac events, and nephropathy +/- diabetes. Not banned in sports!

34
Q

ACE inhibitor AEs

A
cough
angioedema (swelling of face, tongue)
hyperkalemia
acute renal failure
fetopathic potential *contraindicated in pregnancy
35
Q

ARBs MOA

*losartan and valsartan

A

selectively block AT1 receptors > decrease contraction of vascular smooth muscle, aldosterone secretion, pressor responses, and cardiac cellular hypertrophy and hyperplasia

36
Q

ARB indications

A

HTN, diabetic nephropathy, HF, left ventricular dysfunction after AMI, prophylaxis for cardiovascular events

37
Q

ARB AEs

A

similar to ACEIs but less cough and angioedema

*contraindicated during pregnancy

38
Q

ARBs vs ACEIs

A

ARBs reduce activation of AT1 receptors more effectively than ACEIs
ARBs permit activation of AT2 receptors (vasodilation)
ACEIs increase bradykinin levels

39
Q

Renin inhibitor MOA

*aliskiren

A

inhibits renin and blocks ANG I > ANG II
rise in plasma renin levels but decreased activity
AEs similar to ACEIs and ARBs

40

HTN: most useful when combined with another agent to counteract reflex cardiovascular responses
hypertensive emergencies
angina

47
Q

K+ channel openers MOA

*diazoxide and minoxidil

A
