27
Q

What are the cardiovascualr effects of beta receptor antagonists?

A

Decreased inotropic, chronotropic effects

Decreased myocardial oxygen consumption

28
Q

What are the effects of beta blockers on the kidneys?

A

Decreased renin release

29
Q

What are the effects of beta blockers on the lungs?

A

Increased airway resistance (beta 2 blocked)

30
Q

True or false: beta blockers have no effect on BP in normotensive individuals

A

True

31
Q

Why are beta blockers contraindicated in COPD pts?

A

Blocks beta 2 receptors, leading to increased respiratory resistance

32
Q

What is the MOA of beta blocker tolerance?

A

beta 2 receptors on arterioles blocked, leading to increased vascular resistance

33
Q

True or false: no beta blocker is completely free of beta2 blocker effects

A

True

34
Q

What are the effects of beta blockers in the eye?

A

Decrease aqeuous humor production

35
Q

If a COPD pt on beta blockers is still hypertensive, should you increase the dose of the current beta blocker, or add a different type of beta blocker

A

Add another one

36
Q

What are the metabolic effects of beta blockers?

A

Increase VLDL

Decreases HDL

37
Q

What is the basis for using beta blockers in heart failure?

A

Small amounts will prevent the down regulation of beta receptors

38
Q

What is the basis for treating hyperthyroidism with beta blockers?

A

Decrease the HR

39
Q

What does it mean for a beta blocker to have cardioselectivity?

A

Antagonizes beta 1 receptors, rather than beta 2

40
Q

What are beta blockers with intrinsic sympathomimetic activity?

A

Beta blockers who still activate the beta receptor, but to a lesser degree than endogenous catecholamines

41
Q

Which type of beta blockers have a more predictable plasma concentration: lipophilic or hydrophilic

A

Hydrophilic

42
Q

What is the two major advantages of using a lipophilic beta blocker?

A

enter the CNS more readily

Not affected by kidney functions

43
Q

Where are hydrophilic beta blockers metabolized?

A

kidneys

44
Q

Where are lipophilic beta blockers metabolized?

A

Liver

45
Q

What causes the fatigue associated with beta blockers?

A

Reduced CO

46
Q

What causes the worsening of PVD with beta blockers?

A

cannot dilate vessel wit beta 2 activation

47
Q

How do beta blockers mask the symptoms of hypoglycemia?

A

Loss of counterregulatory hormonal changes

48
Q

What is the most common symptom of DM on the heart?

A

orthostatic hypotension

49
Q

What is the cause of dysphagia with DM?

A

Neuropathy
