CARDIOVASCULAR DRUGS Flashcards
- It is determined by myocardial contractility, cardiac afterload, and cardiac preload.
Stroke Volume
- It is amount of tension applied to a muscle before contraction
Preload
- The result of cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance is what determines it.
Blood Pressure
- What are the 7 Anti-hypertensives?
Diuretics
Adrenergic Drugs
Direct Vasodilators
ACE Inhibitors
Calcium Channel Blockers
Direct Renin Inhibitors
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers
- It is a medication that quickens the production of urine, which causes the body to expel water and sodium.
Diuretics
- Give me at least 4 summary of major drug effects.
Potent Diuresis
Reduces Blood pressure
Reduces pulmonary vascular resistance
Reduces systemic vascular resistance
Reduces central venous pressure
Electrolyte loss: NA and K
- It is a chemical derivative of sulfonamides.
Thiazides
- It is an inhibitor of converting enzymes.
Angiotensin
- It is recommended to treat hypertension, act as a supplement for heart failure, and halt LVH progression.
Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors
- Give at least 3 drugs of Angiotensin II receptor blockers
Losartan
Eprosartan
Valsartan
Irbisartan
Olmesartan
Telmisartan
- What are the three types of CCBs or Calcium Channel Blocker?
Phenylalkylamines
Benzothiazepines
Dihydropyridines
- Give me at least 3 Example of Direct Vasodilators drugs.
Minoxidil
Hydralazine
Diazoxide
Nitroprusside
- It works well to promote hair growth.
Minoxidil
- What are the three types of Angina?
Chronic Stable Angina
Unstable Angina
Vasospastic Angina
- It is the volume of blood that each contraction expels.
Ejection Fraction
- The amount of blood in the ventricle as a whole just prior to contraction.
LV End-Diastolic Volume
- What are the 3 types of HF Drugs?
Positive Inotropic Drugs
Positive Chronotropic Drugs
Positive Dromotropic
- It is a potent vasodilator and decreases systemic vascular resistance.
ARB
- It is an oldest group of cardiac drugs, came from foxglove or digitalis plants
Cardiac Glycosides
- It modifies platelet function without impairing platelet activity.
Hemorrheologic
