Antihypertensive drugs Flashcards
cardiac output
stroke volume*peripheral vascular resistance
short term goal for BP control
sympathetic nervous system
through baroreceptor
response to postural changers and physical activity
long term goal for BP control
Kidneys
regulation of plasma volume
regulation of renin angiotensine aldosterone axis
response to postural changes and physical activity
antihypertensive drug categories
vasodialators(calcium channel blockers) B blockers A blockers angiotensine receptor blockers centrally active sympatholytics ACE inhibitors Diuretics
VASODIALATORS
blocks calcium in plasma membranes of smooth muscle
causes relaxation of smooth muscle
affects arterial than venous smooth muscle
2 types of vasodialators
dihydropyridine and nondihydropyridine
dihydropyridine (dipine)
amelodipine
felodipine
nifedipine
Dihydrodipidne ADR
notorius for reflex tach
nonhydropyridine
verapamil
dilitiazem
nonhydropyridine affects
cardiac tissues
decrease Heart rate/cardiac output
ADR for calcium channelblockers
hypotension dizziness edema headache tachycardia AV block/vradycardia
other vasodialators
hydralaziine
hydralazine
direct vasodialators of arterioles
reserved for treatment resistant HTN
ADR of hydralazine
Reflex tach
lupus like syndrome
Nitroprusside
direct vasodialators of both arteries and veins
used for HTN emergencies
Nitroprusside short term
metabolized to cyanide
short time therapy
needs thiocyanate monitoring
B-BLOCKERS
blockers B receptors in the heart-reduces CO by reducing HR and contractility.
blocks renin secretion and reduce sympathetic outflow
B-Blockers
selective
non selective
alpha and beta blockers
Selective
blocks B-1
selective B blocker drugs (olol)
atenolol bisoprolol esmolol metaprolol nebivolol
