Cardiac Pharm test 1 Flashcards
Also has indirect sympathomimetic effect eliciting the release of norepinephrine via Beta-1 stimulation
Dopamine
Men benefit from beta blockers with ____
reduced MI
Limited use since dobutamine and milrinone has emerged
Isoproternol
Scopolamine Used as a patch with a total dose of ___and applied behind ear
1.5 mg
Detrimental effects on the heart limiting isoproternol use
-Excessive tachy -Myocardial ischemia -Arrhythmia production
Isoproternol’s positive ________and ________ effect results in a dramatic increase in myocardial oxygen consumption
inotropic , chronotropic
Scopolamine Duration
3 days
Dobutamine Is an option in Cardiogenic and Septic shock and in select patient with mild heart failure because:
Positive inotropic effects Lack of chronotropy Maintenance of normal BP
Dobutamine drug class
Synthetic sympathomimetic amine
Not as potent as epi in stimulating alpha receptors in equal doses
Norepi
Classified as non-selective beta blocker but is unique d/t its alpha blocking component
Labetalol (Normodyne, Trandate):
Has little Beta 2 activity at low doses
Norepi
Increase in CO compensates for decrease in SVR and the BP is ________ (or at low doses relatively unchanged)
increased
May benefit vascular surgery patients at high risk for ____but not for stroke
MI
UOP may fall due to renal vascular resistance is increased
Norepi
DROPERIDOL Black Box: associated with ______interval in certain patients increasing probability of development of ___________leading to serious morbidity and death
prolonged QT, torsades de points
Ephedrine Use cautiously in patients with questionable ______________ d/t myocardial oxygen consumption may be more dramatically increased as a result of positive inotropic effect
coronary perfusion
Ephedrine onset/ duration
Immediate; 15 min to 1.5 hours depending on dose
Milirione loading dose
50 mcg/kg slowly over 10 minutes
Stimulates both alpha and beta receptors directly
EPHEDRINE
Dopamine doses: 2 mcg/kg/min 2-5 mcg/kg/min 10 mcg/kg/min and above
Dopamine receptors: 2 mcg/kg/min Beta: 2-5 mcg/kg/min Alpha: 10 mcg/kg/min and above
Has for the most part unopposed alpha stimulation
Norepi
Milrone has of an increase in HR probably contributes to an absence of myocardial oxygen consumption true or false
true
Potent non-selective agonist of Beta 1 and Beta 2 receptors
Isoproternol
(epi)This is followed by a longer _______ as Beta 2 stimulation then forces potassium (that is extracellular) into red blood cells
hypokalemia
ANTICHOLINERGICS
Atropine, Glycopyrrolate, Scopolamine
Has strong alpha stimulating effect with virtually no beta stimulation
PHENYLEPHRINE
Women suffered from clinical significant increases in ____
CHF
Isoproternol Increase in CO is seen due to combination B1 and B2 inducing _______ and resultant drop in _____.
vasodilation , SVR
Coronary Artery perfusion may be increased b/c of the increase in DBP
Norepi
contraindicated beta blockers
asthma, Brady arrhythmias, acute heart failure, or advanced heart block
Recent evidence indicates significant adverse effects when used in cardiac surgery and clinicians have stopped using it for inotropic support
Dobutamine
PVR (peripheral) and preload/afterload are diminished
ALPHA RECEPTOR ANTAGONIST
Produces a positive inotropic action and vasodilation without producing tachycardia
Milrinone (Primacor)
Lack of alpha 2 blocking indicates that they have no effect on norepinephrine levels
ALPHA RECEPTOR ANTAGONIST
(epi)As doses increase, alpha effects predominates resulting in vasoconstriction and increase in SVR
SBP increases, DBP remains relatively unchanged, Pulse Pressure increases
Dobutamine has Primarily ______with some ________effects
Beta 1 agonist, Beta 2
Isoproternol has Profound ________stimulation results in both positive inotropic an chronotropic effects
Beta 1
Antisialagogue effects of anticholinergics greatest to least
Scopolamine, glycopyrrolate, atropine
In situations where beta blockers are contraindicated, such as asthma, Brady arrhythmias, acute heart failure, or advanced heart block, an adrenergic agonist such as ______ may have some benefit
clonidine
mydrorisis, cyclopegia effects of anticholinergics greatest to least
scopolamine, atropine, glyco 0.
Clinical result is a decrease in both _____and _____.
(milrinone)
preload and afterload
Used as first line therapy (along with dopamine) for shock
Norepi
Esmolol is metabolized by _______________.
nonspecific plasma esterases found in the cytosol of RBC
Ephedrine As with any indirect-acting agent, _________ may develop with subsequent dosing b/c catecholamine stores become depleted.
tachyphylaxis
Is also a potent bronchial dilator and pulmonary vasodilator
Isoproterenol
Clonidine drug class
Presynaptic Alpha-2 Agonist
Effects similar to epi but to a lesser degree and not accompanied with dramatic increase in serum glucose
EPHEDRINE
Milirinone infusion
0.5 mcg/kg as needed
Modified isoproterenol but is used widespread
Dobutamine
Metoprolol dose
5 mg doses IV q 5 minutes to max of 15 mg is recommended
_________ have been known to cause “floppy iris” syndrome which may complicate cataract surgery D/c prior to surgery is not required as long as the ophthalmologist is aware
