What is the MOA
Kawasaki disease
It blocks release of thromboxane from cyccloxygenase thereby inhibiting PLTs aggregation and thrombus formation

Cyclophospahmide (MAINLY)
corticosteroids
CHF treatment
ACEI
also beta blocker, spironolactone, ARB
treatment for a PDA and MOA

List the nonDHP calcium channel blockers
Verapamil
diltiazem
Calcium channel blockers clinical uses
Angina Prinzmetal's angina arrythmias HTN Raynaud's phenomena
Which of the calcium channel blocker is not used for arrythmias
nifedipine
Calcium channel blocker MOA
block voltage gated calcium channels of only cardiac and smooth muscle to decrease contractility
Describe the order of how CCblockers on the vascular smooth muscle
Amlodipine=nifedipine>diltiazem.varapamil
describe the order of how CCblocker on the heart
Verapamil>diltiazem>amlodipine=nifedipine

Malignant HTN treatment
nitroprusside nicardipine clevidipine labetalol fenoldopam
Nitroprusside MOA
Short acting direct release of NO to increase cGMP
Nitroprusside toxicity
Cyanide toxicity
FenoldopamMOA
a dopamine D1 receptor agonist that causes vasodilation of coronary, peripheral, renal, and splanchnic –decreasing BP and increasing natriuresis
Nitroglycerin and isosorbide dinitrate MOA
Relases NO–increase cGMP–SM relaxation–VENOdilation–decreased preload

Angina
pulmonary edema
