Q

RAAS?

Q

CCB effect on vasculature?

A

Block voltage dependent Ca2+ channels on vascular smooth muscle cells in arteries which is important for contraction (relax smooth m, decreases peripheral resistance), not affect venous beds much

26
Q

If PVR decreases what happens to the heart? BP?

A

reflex tachy

BP goes down

27
Q

Will there be reflex tachy with verapamil?

A

no, decrease cardiac output, decrease HR, decrease conduction, decrease force of contraction, no change in PVR

28
Q

First line therapy for hypertension with a compelling indication?

A

Calcium channel blockers

29
Q

Adverse effects of Verapamil and diliazem?

A

sinus bradycadria, AV block, exacerbation of heart failure or pulmonary edema

30
Q

Dihydropyridines adverse effects?

A

Will lower PVR but will cause reflex tachy

31
Q

What will cause nidedipine induced peripheral edema?

A

increase in hydrostatic pressure in the precapillary sphincter

32
Q

useful agent to combat the nidedipine induced peripheral edema?

A

ACE inhibitor

33
Q

Angiotensin II effects?

A

Adrenal- aldosterone release- Na and H2O (increase volume, increase BP)
Arterioles/venules- vasoconstriction (increase PVR ,increase BP)
facilitate sympathetic activity (increase BP)

34
Q

Ang II on blood pressure?

A

rise BP

35
Q

Ang II effects?

A

hypertrophy/hyperplaisa of vascular smooth muscle cell, mesagnial cells, cardiac myocytes, cardiac fibroblasts
mycocyte apoptosis, inflammatory mediator, helps regulate GFR

36
Q

block effects of Ang II?

A

ACE inhibitor will block angiotensin converting enzyme, Ang I to Ang II conversion (decrease amount of Ang II made)
-will also block inactivation of bradykinin

angiotensin receptor blocker blocks the receptor (decrease effect of Ang II)

renin inhibitor blocks angiotensinogen to ang I

37
Q

Antihypertensive actions of ACE inhibitors?

A

decrease ang II, increase bradykinin
dilate arterioles
decrease PVR

38
Q

Decrease Ang II does what?

A

decrease aldosterone, decrease sympathetic activity

39
Q

Why does ACE inhibitor not cause large drop in aldosterone levels?

A

other things sim aldosterone release

40
Q

ACEI MOA?

A

decrease PVR

small effect HR, CO and blood volume

41
Q

ACEI clinical use?

A

first line for hypertension with compelling indication

42
Q

Acute MI/ ACEI?

A

administer within 24 hrs post MI to decrease mortality

43
Q

If BP is low, give ACEI?

A

no

44
Q

ACEI and diabetic nephropathy?

A

benificial by decreasing bp and benificial without hypertension too

45
Q

primary cause of kidney failure?

A

diabetes

46
Q

Ang II mainly changes what arteriole in the kidney?

A

the efferent arteriole, cause dilation
cause intraglomerular hydrostatic pressure to decrease
less damage, decrease proteinuria

47
Q

Adverse effect ACEI?

A

Functional renal insufficiency

48
Q

Predisposing conditions for functional renal insufficiency?

A
microvascular renal disease
renal artery stenosis and a solitary kidney
bilateral renal artery stenosis
dehydration
heart failure
nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug use
49
Q

How to maintain GFR with renal artery stenosis?

A

Ang II, constrict efferent arteriole, increase glomerular hydrostatic pressure, maintain GFR

50
Q

Large decrease in GFR does what to serum creatinine?

A

go way up, esp in bilateral renal artery stenosis

51
Q

Diabetes mellitus and kidney disease?

A

give right amount ACEI, renoprotective

give too much, bad for kidneys

52
Q

ACEI adverse?

A

hypotension (initiation of therapy if volume depleted)
Hyperkalemia- renal insufficiency, combo with K sparing diuretics or K supplements
Hematologic effects
Angioedema (bradykinin, substance P)
Cough (bradykinin, substance P)

53
Q

Contraindications ACEI?

A

prior history angioedema

54
Q

Absolute contraindications ACEI?

A

bilateral renal artery stenosis
renal artery stenosis in sole kidney
teratogenic in 2nd/3rd trimester

only blocks the ang II receptor

56
Q

Aliskiren?

A

Renin inhibitor, only inhibit bradykinin

57
Q

ACEI vs ARB/Aliskiren?

A

ACEI been around longer, prevent destruction of bradykinin

ARBS/Aliskiren- don’t affect bradykinin

58
Q

Ang II receptor antagonist MOA?

A

AT1 receptor anagonists blocks effects of Ang II

alternative to patients who cannot tolerate ACE inhibitors

59
Q

adverse effects ARB?

A

renal insufficiency, hypotension, hyperkalemia, bilateral renal artery stenosis (contraindicated)
angioedema, low incidence of cough

60
Q

Aliskiren?

A

inhibit renin
similar to ACEI/ ARB (theurpeutic and side effects)
no effect on bradykinin
monotherapy or in combo with other agents

61

A

2nd/3rd degree AV block
Active asthma
RP interval > 0.24

A

Constipation (Flushing, headache, dizziness, peripheral edema)

63
Q

Clinical use of Angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARB)?

A

alternative agent in patient that can not tolerate ACE inhibitors
