Cardiovascular Drug Flashcards
It is a persistent systolic pressure of greater than 140mmHg and/or a diastolic pressure of greater than 90mmHg.
Hypertension
It is determined by the product of cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance.
Blood Pressure
The goal of this therapy is the reduction of cardiovascular and renal morbidity and mortality.
Antihypertensive Therapy
Diuretics, Adrenergic drugs, Direct Vasodilators, ACE Inhibitors are the _______?
Anti-Hypertensives
The chemical derivatives of sulfonamide antibiotics. Acetazolamide is one of the drug.
Carbonic Anhydrase Inhibitors
In Adrenergic Drugs, this acts on the brain by decreasing NE production.
Central Acting
In Adrenergic Drugs, this acts at the heart and blood vessels.
Peripheral Acting
These are antihypertensives that block binding Angiotensin II to its receptors and primarily affect the vascular smooth muscle and adrenal gland.
Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers
Antihypertensives that directly cause peripheral vasodilation.
Vasodilators
The three types of Angina.
Chronic Stable Angina
Unstable Angina
Vasospastic Angina
Nitrates and Nitrites, Beta Blockers, and Calcium Channel Blockers are classified as:
Anti-Anginal Drugs
It is the most effective treatment of exertional angina.
Beta Blockers
These drugs increase the force of myocardial contraction.
Positive Inotropic drugs
These drugs accelerate conduction.
Positive Dromotropic drugs
The oldest group of cardiac drugs came from foxglove or digitalis plants.
Cardiac Glycosides
