Cardiac Week and Noche Flashcards
Furosemide Trade name
Lasix
Furosemide drug class
Diuretic
Furosemide mechanism of action
Loop diuretic - main location of action is thick ascending limb of loop of Henle - Block Na+-K+-2Cl transporter in luminal membrane of loop of Henle preventing reabsorption of Na+ from tubular lumen -> decrease Na+ in medullary interstitial -> decreased osmolary gradient -> decreased urine concentration -> decreased H2O retention -> decreased blood volume -> decreased blood pressure
furosemide fx
- diuretic activity SA treat -congestive cardiomyopathy - pulmonary edema -hypercalcuric nephropathy - uremia - adjunct therapy in hyperkalemia - occasionally used as antihypertensive agent Cattle - udder edema Racehorses - reduce EIPH (exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage)
furosemide side effects
- fluid and electrolyte abnormalities - prerenal azoetemia - hyponatremia - hypocalcemia -hypokalemia -hypomagnesmia
enalapril trade name
Vasotec
enalapril drug class
ACE inhibitior
enalapril mechanism of action
- converted by liver to active compound enalprilat which competes with angiotensin I for ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) (ACE has higher affinity for Enalaprilat than angiotensin I) -> prevents formation angiotensin-II which is a vasoconstrictor - decreased angiotensin-II [] -> decreased aldosterone secretion and plasma renin activity increased - decreases total peripheral resistance, pulmonary vascular resistance, mean arterial and R atrial pressures, and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure - increase renal blood flow and decrease glomerular efferent arteriole resistance
enalapril fx
- adjunctive therapy of heart failure (CHF) - decrease efferent glomerular resistance, reduce proteinuria and have renoprotective effects, can use for adjunct treatment idiopathic glomerular nephritis - CRF (chronic renal failure) - protein-losing nephropathy - hypertension accompanying kindey dx
enalapril side effects
- GI distress - weakness - hypotension - renal dysfx - hyperkalemia - can cause coughs
Diltiazem trade name
Cardizem, Dilt-cd
Diltiazem Drug class
Ca2+ channel blocker
Diltiazem Mechanism of Action
binds to L-type Ca2+ channels preventing Ca2+ entry into cell -> inhibit cardiac and vascular smooth muscle contractility dilating main systemic and coronary artieries; TPR, BP, cardiac afterload all = reduced - Slows AV node conduction and prolongs refractory time
Diltiazem fx
- termination for supra ventricular(atrial) tachycardia - suppress atrial premature complexes -> a-fib - decrease ventricular rate associated with atrial fibrillation
Diltiazem side effects
- bradycardia - hypotension - GI disturbances
Pimobendan trade name
Vetmedin
Pimobendan drug class
inodilator
pimobendan mechanism of action
- inhibition of phosphodiesterase III (PDE III) -> increased inotropy and arteriodilation - increases intracellular Ca2+ sensitivity on troponin C making -> enhancement cardiac contractility w/o inc in myocardial O2 consumption bc does not increase intracellular Ca2+ levels (Ca2+ sensitization -> increased ionotrophy)
pimobendan fx
- treat CHF secondary to DCM or chronic mitral valve insufficiency in dogs or myxomatous/ degernative mitral valve dx
pimobendan side effects
- GI - may inc development of arrhtymias
Spironolactone trade name
aldactone
spironolactone drug class
Mineralocorticoid antagonist
spironolactone mechanism of action
competitively binds mineralocorticoid receptor -> release heat shock protein 90 -> inhibits production of aldosterone-induced proteins and blocks effects of aldosterone ie -> dec Na+ uptake b/c aldosterone normally increases synthesis of lumina Na+ channels and increases K+ channels increasing K+ secretion driving force secondary to Na+ secretion so if inhibit aldosterone inhibit the luminal Na+ channels and in turn inhibit that secondary K+ secretion ** At low doses does not have diuretic effects**
spironolactone fx
- CHF patients not responding to furosemide and ACE inhibitors adequately - K+ sparing diuretic (use in CHF if hypokalemic) - treatment of ascites
spironolactone side effects
-GI - dehydration - hyperkalemia
albuterol trade name
proventil, accuneb
albuterol drug class
beta 2 adrenergic agonist
albuterol mechanism of action
stimulates production of cAMP by activation of adenyl cyclase via Gs -> relaxation bronchial, uterine, and vascular smooth muscle; beta 2 adrenergic agonist
