16
Q

what are the 2 categories of calcium channel blockers

A

dihydropyridines - little to no negative effect on cardiac contractility or conduction

non-dihydropyridines - greater depressive effect on cardiac conduction and contractility

17
Q

adverse effects of dihydropyridines

A

headache, lightheadedness, flushing, peripheral edema

18
Q

adverse effects of non-dihydropyridines

A

constipation, bradycardia, heart failure, heart block

19
Q

contraindications of dihydropyridines

A

hepatic impairment, severe coronary artery disease, and sever aortic stenosis

20
Q

contraindications of non-dihydropyridines

A

second or third degree heart block, acute MI, congestive heart failure

21
Q

action of beta blockers

A

compete with adrenergic neurotransmitters (epi and norepi) for adrenergic receptor sites

22
Q

where are beta1 receptor sites usually located

A

in the heart

23
Q

where are beta2 receptors usually located

A

bronchial and vascular smooth muscle and the uterus

24
Q

which beta receptors do selective beta blockers work on

A

beta1

25
Q

which beta receptors do non selective beta blockers work on

A

beta1 and beta2

26
Q

adverse effects of beta blockers

A

orthostatic hypotension, bradycardia, bronchospasm

27
Q

contraindications of beta blockers

A

sinus bradycardia, heart block, hypotension
