Cardiovascular Drugs Flashcards
Drugs that accelerate the
rate of urine formation
that results to the
removal of sodium and
water from the body
Diuretics
It is the amount of
blood ejected from the left
ventricle and measured in Lpm
Cardiac Output
What is the Adverse Effect of Vasodilators
Hypotension, Dizziness, Headache, Orthostatic Hypotension, Dysrhythmias, Sodium and Water retention, Hyperglycemia
An early stage of progressive
artery disease characterized by pain increasing
in severity and frequency and may even occur at
rest
Unstable Angina
What are the three Anti- Anginal Drugs
- Nitrates and Nitrites
- Beta Blockers
- Calcium Channel Blockers
What is the Contraindicators of Beta Blockers
Heart failure and Conduction disturbance
Indicators of Disopyramide, Procainamide, Quinidine
Atrial fibrillation, Premature Atrial Contractions, Premature ventricular contractions, ventricular tachycardia, Wolff- Parkinson- White syndrome
A combination of TG and Chol which transport lipids via the blood
Lipoprotein
Indications of Thrombolytic Drugs
The indications of Thrombolytic Drugs are Acute MI, arterial thrombosis, DVT, occlusion of shunts/ catheters, pulmonary embolism and Acute ischemic stroke
To prevent and treat excessive bleeding;
arrest oozing from surgical sites; Desmopressin for
hemophilia or T1 von Willebrand disease
Anti-fibrinolytic Drugs
It breaks down clots and thrombi that have
already formed
Thrombolytic
It prevent platelet plugs from forming by
inhibiting platelet aggregation
Antiplatelet
Occurs due to a reduced ratio of
ejection fraction to left-ventricular
end-diastolic volume
Heart Failure
From spasms of the
smooth muscle that surrounds the coronary
arteries and occurs at rest without any triggers
but usually occurring at the same time of day
Vasospastic Angina
It is used for prevention of migraine headaches
and severe dysmenorrhea, mgt of opioid, nicotine
and alcohol withdrawa
Clonidine
