CARDIO - HYPERTENSION Flashcards
T-wave inversion
HypoKalemia
What drug causes HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA as an IDIOSYNCRATIC REACTION?
Methyldopa
Non-dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker
(Cardiac > Vascular)
VERAPAMIL
DILTIAZEM
peaked T-waves
HyperKalemia
most effective vasodilator
NITROPRUSSIDE because it is both an ARTERIOLAR vasodilator and a VENOdilator
TARGET BP
Dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker
(Vascular > Cardiac)
NIFEDIPINE
AMLODIPINE [C], FELODIPINE [C], NICARDIPINE [C], NISOLDIPINE [C], CLEVIDIPINE [C], ISRADIPINE [C], LEVAMLODIPINE [D], LACIDIPINE [C], LERCANIDIPINE [C],
Discuss RAAS with drugs
MOA of furosemide
Inhibit Na/K/2Cl transporter in thick ascending limb of loop of Henle. Cause powerful diuresis and increased Ca excretion.
JNC 8 GUIDELINE FOR HTN
Vasodilator that acts by Opens K + channels in vascular smooth muscle, causing hyperpolarization, muscle relaxation and vasodilation
MINOXIDIL [C], DIAZOXIDE
vasodilator that alters intracellular Ca 2+ metabolism. Relaxes arteriolar smooth muscle, causing vasodilation → Decreases afterload
HYDRALAZINE
SE of Methylopa
Sedation, Hemolytic anemia (Positive Coombs Test)
Inhibit Na + /Cl - transporter in distal convoluted tubule. Cause moderate diuresis and reduced excretion of calcium
THIAZIDE DIURETICS
HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE, CHLORTHALIDONE [B], INDAPAMIDE [B], METOLAZONE [B]
