Antihypertensive drugs Flashcards
Formula for BP?
CO x PVR
CO=SV x HR
SV= myocardial contractility and venous return
Venous return= blood volume, venous capacitance tone
Short term regulate BP?
baroreceptor reflex
Long term regulate of BP?
Kidney, Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System
RAAS?
Renin increases ANG II, cause vasoconstriction which raises BP
ANG II also increases aldosterone, salt and water retention, raise BP
Diuretic acute antihypertensive?
increase sodium and water excretion by the kidney, decrease blood volume, decrease CO
Diuretic chronic antihypertensive?
prolonged diuretic use over time CO returns to normal, decrease Na in smooth m cells, decrease PVR
takes about 6-8 weeks
How do diuretics enhance the effects of other drugs?
some drugs cause Na retention, this causes release
Most potent diuretic?
Loop
Most useful diuretic to treat hypertension?
thaizide, first line therapy
Decrease CV events and mortality
When use loop diuretics for hypertension?
reduced renal function
severe hypertension when drugs that retain Na are being used
disadvantage to treat hypertension with loop?
short half life, dont work as well as equally potent dose of a thiazide
Effect of thiazide and loop on serum K levels?
decrease
K sparing use for hypertension?
to counteract the K loss from loop and thiazides
Spironolactone- use with other agent
Eplerenon- use alone or with other agent
Compelling indication for use
Drugs and new onset diabetes?
Diuretics and beta blockers have increased risk
calcium channel blockers neutral or protective
ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor antagonists lower risk for new onset diabetes
Use Esmolol to treat chronic hypertension?
no because its an IV drug
Propranolol antihypertensive? (heart)
nonselective beta blocker, decrease heart rate, decrease contractility, decrease cardiac output
Some beta blockers have intrinsic sympathomimetic activity?
they are partial agonists to beta receptor, activating the receptor but not to full potential as beta agonist
Propranolol on kidney?
decrease renin, decrease ang II, decrease aldosterone
Propranolol on CNS?
decrease sympathetic discharge
Not use a beta blocker?
2nd and 3rd degree AV block, asthma, increased RR interval
Adverse effects of beta blockers?
decrease response to exercise bradycardia AV conduction abnormalities beta 2 on smooth muscle in lungs nightmares, lassitude, mental depression, insomnia (CNS effects) (lipid soluble) sexual dysfuntion, increase triglycerides and decrease HDL glucose intolerance unopposed vasoconstriction
long term therapy beta blockers?
up regulate of receptors, rebound hypertension
Verapamil is?
calcium channel blocker, works on smooth m and cardiac muscle
non-dihydropyridines
Nifedipine is?
calcium channel blocker, works only on vascular smooth muscle
dihydropyridine
CCB effect on vasculature?
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
