Cardio Flashcards
T-wave inversion
Increase PR
Decrease QT
Toxicity for digoxin
Blurry yellow vision
Toxicity for digoxin
essential HTN
ACD
CHF
ABD(K+ sparing)
DM
ABCD
alpha blocker
nifedipine
Work best in vascular, worst in heart
CCB, L-type calcium channels of cardiac and smooth muscle
decrease contractiliy
used in HTN, angina, arrhythmia(not this one), Prinz, raynaud
TOX: cardiac depression:AV block,
edema, flushing,constipation
verapamil
Work worst in vascular, best in heart(ve for ventricle)
CCB, L-type calcium channels of cardiac and smooth muscle
decrease contractiliy
used in HTN, angina, arrhythmia, Prinz, raynaud
TOX: cardiac depression:AV block,
edema, flushing,constipation
diltiazem
Work adverage in vascular, adverage in heart
CCB, L-type calcium channels of cardiac and smooth muscle
decrease contractiliy
used in HTN, angina, arrhythmia(not this one), Prinz, raynaud
TOX: cardiac depression:AV block,
edema, flushing,constipation
amlodipine
Work best in vascular, worst in heart
CCB, L-type calcium channels of cardiac and smooth muscle
decrease contractiliy
used in HTN, angina, arrhythmia(not this one), Prinz, raynaud
TOX: cardiac depression:AV block,
edema, flushing,constipation
hydralazine
increase cGMP–>smooth muscle relaxation, A>V
1st line for HTN in pregnancy with methyldopa
co administer with beta-blocker to prevent tachy
tox: compensatory tachy,
Lupus-like
nitroprusside
malignant HTN
short acting: increase cGMP via direct release of NO,
cause cyanide toxicity
fenoldopam
malignant HTN
D1 receptor agonist: coronary, periperal, renal, splanchic vasodilation
decrease BP and increase natriuresis
nicardipine
CCB
malignant HTN and angina
clevidipine
CCB
malignant HTN and angina
labetalol
beta+alpha blocker
malignant HTN
nitroglycerin
vasodilate by releasing NO in smooth muscle, causing increase in cGMP and smooth muscle relaxation
Dilate V>A, decrease preload
Use: angina, pulmonary edema
TOX: reflex tachy, hypotension, flushing, headache. “Monday disease”, diminished response over repeated use
isosorbide dinitrate
vasodilate by releasing NO in smooth muscle, causing increase in cGMP and smooth muscle relaxation
Dilate V>A, decrease preload
Use: angina, pulmonary edema
TOX: reflex tachy, hypotension, flushing, headache. “Monday disease”, diminished response over repeated use
lovastatin
HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor
decrease LDL, increase HDL, decrease TG
inhibit conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate a chol precursor
TOX: hepatotoxicity, increase LFTs,
rhabdomyolysis (increase risk with therapy of gemfibrozil and nicotinic acid)
provastatin
HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor
decrease LDL, increase HDL, decrease TG
inhibit conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate a chol precursor
TOX: hepatotoxicity, increase LFTs,
rhabdomyolysis (increase risk with therapy of gemfibrozil and nicotinic acid)
simvastatin
HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor
decrease LDL, increase HDL, decrease TG
inhibit conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate a chol precursor
TOX: hepatotoxicity, increase LFTs,
rhabdomyolysis (increase risk with therapy of gemfibrozil and nicotinic acid)
