Cardiovascular and Renal Flashcards
What does PKA phosphorylate in the heart?
SERCA2 and phospholamban
Which heart fibres are fastest?
SAN
What is Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome?
Abnormal conducting fibres so A>V is too fast
How do inodilators act?
Inhibit PDE (mimic sympathetic stimulation)
How do methylxanthines act?
Non-specific PDE inhibitors and A1 and A2 agonists
What causes phospholamban to inhibit SERCA2?
Sympathetic via B receptors and PKA
Which factors does plasmin cause breakdown of?
II, V, VII
What is glyciproteins IIB/IIIa receptor needed for?
Fibrinogen binding between platelets that causes aggregation
Where does ATIII act and what does it affect?
The brain affecting ADH release
What does adenosine acting on A1 receptors inhibit?
Rise in intracellular cAMP
What does ANP via cGMP inhibit?
Renin release
What are the ATII receptors?
AT1 and AT2
What converts ATII to ATIII?
Brain aminopeptidase A
What converts ATIII to ATIV?
Aminopeptidase-N
Which tubule has peptidases to metabolise bradykinin?
Proximal
Which receptors does the collecting duct have?
Kininogen and bradykinin B2
What converts kininogen to bradykinin?
Killikrein
How do loop diuretics work?
Block Na-K-Cl transport in apical membrane of thick ascending limb
How do thiazide diuretics work?
Block Na-Cl cotransport in cortical thick ascending limb and distal tubule, also some CA inhibition
How do K+-sparing diuretics work?
Block apical Na+ channels OR aldosterone antagonists
How do CA inhibitors work?
Inhibit bicarb reabsorption and decrease H+ availability so there is less to exchange with Na
Which PDE is Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent?
I
Which PDE is cGMP-stimualted?
II
Which PDE is cGMP-specific?
V
Which PDE is cGMP-inhibited?
III
Which PDE is cAMP-specific?
IV
Which inodilator is used for heart failure and which PDE does in inhibit?
Milrinone - type III
Which two drugs inhibit PDE type V?
Dipyridamole and sildenafil
