Cardio Pharmacology Flashcards
Hydrochlorothiazide
thiazide diuretic: blocks early distal tubular Na uptake
risk of hypokalemia
Furosemide
Loop diuretic: blocks loop of Henle Na uptake
risk of hypokalemia
Most effective class
Spironolactone
Aldosterone antagonist - Potassium-sparing Diuretic:
blocks aldosterone stimulated Na uptake in late distal and cortical collecting tubules; hyperkalemia risk
Eplerenone
Aldosterone antagonist - Potassium-sparing Diuretic:
blocks aldosterone stimulated Na uptake in late distal and cortical collecting tubules; hyperkalemia risk
Amiloride
Sodium-channel inhibitor Potassium sparing
Blocks Na uptake in late distal and cortical collecting tubules
Hyperkalemia risk
Tramterene
Sodium-channel inhibitor Potassium sparing
Blocks Na uptake in late distal and cortical collecting tubules
Hyperkalemia risk
