Cardiovascular Drugs

Question 1

Is determined by 1) myocardial contractility (force with which the ventricles contract), 2) cardiac afterload, 3) cardiac preload

Answer 1

Stroke Volume

Question 1

Is the amount of tension (stretch) applied to a muscle before contraction = force of venous return

Answer 1

Preload

Question 2

Is the load against which a muscle exerts its force = arterial pressure that the left ventricle overcomes to eject blood

Answer 2

Afterload

Question 3

Defined as a persistent systolic pressure of greater than 140mmHg and/or a diastolic pressure of greater than 90mmHg

Answer 3

Hypertension

Question 4

Is the amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle and measured in Lpm

Answer 4

Cardiac Output

Question 5

Is the resistance to blood flow that is determined by the diameter of the blood vessels and vascular musculature

Answer 5

SVR (Systematic Vascular Resistance)

Question 6

Drugs that accelerate the rate of urine formation that results to the removal of sodium and water from the body

Answer 6

Diuretics

Question 7

Acts on the brain by decreasing NE production

Answer 7

Central Acting

Question 8

Acts at the heart and blood vessels

Answer 8

Peripheral Acting

Question 9

Blocks binding of Angiotension II to its receptors and primarily affects the vascular smooth muscle and adrenal gland

Answer 9

ARBs
