Cardiovascular Drugs Flashcards
Which is Systole & Diastole
▪️Contraction:
▪️Relaxation:
▪️Contraction: Systole
▪️Relaxation: Diastole
What is the Factors for BP?
BP = CO x SVR
Volume of the blood pump out by the heart per minute [vol/min]
Cardiac Output
Volume of the blood pumped out by the heart per beat
Strong Volume
What is stated below
▪️aka: Venous Return, End Diastolic Vol.
▪️ volume of the blood received by the heart at the end of relaxation
Preload
What is stated below
▪️aka: Afterload
▪️ pressure required for the blood to be ejected by the heart
SVR: Systemic Vascular Resistance
Drugs: Antihypertensive
▪️↑urinary excretion of Na+ & H2O
▪️Concept:
↑Na, H2O (urine) =↓Na+,H2O (blood)
↓ blood volume
↓ BP
Diuretics
Classes of Diuretics [Na+ & H2O]
Under Na+: Natriuretics (4)
1.CAIs
2. Loop
3. Thiazides
4. K-Sparing
SOA (Site of Action) of the ff:
1.CAIs
2. Loop
3. Thiazides
4. K-Sparing
- Proximal convoluted Tubule (PCT)
- Thick Ascending Limb (TAL)
- DCT
- Collecting Duct
Classes of Diuretics (under Na+: Natriuretics)
▪️sulfonamide-like cmpds
▪️Acetazolomide, Dorzolamide, Brinzolamide, Dichlorpenamide
Carbonic Anhydrase Inh. (CAIs)
- mide
Sulfonamide associating T/E in
- Blood
- Skin
- Hemolytic anemia
- Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS)
CAIs
▪️Brand Name of Acetazolomide
Diamox
What is stated below:
▪️1st Line: Open-Angle Glaucoma
▪️Urinary Alkalizer - to make the urine basic
▪️Metabolic alkalosis - clinical effect/use
▪️Acute mountain sickness (swollen head)
CAIs
Tx for Catamenial Seizure
Acetazolomide [CAIs]
What Class of Diuretics under (Na+) is stated below:
▪️Aka: High-ceiling Diuretics (↑dose=↑effect)
▪️Ex: Sulfonamides (Furosemide & Bumetanide), Sulfonylurea (Torsemide), Phenoxyacetate (Ethacrynic Acid)
▪️MOA: Natriuretics-in Thick Ascending Limb (LDH)
▪️1° action=Most effective in lowering conc. Na+, K+, Cl- in the blood
▪️Venodilation (veins) = ↓preload=↓BP-If px has HF and Mgt. of acute pulmonary edema (Furosemide)
Loop Diuretics
What is Metabolic-related T/E of Loop Diuretics
HYPER GLU?
HyperGlycemia
HyperLipidemia
HyperUracemia
What Class of Diuretics under (Na+) is stated below:
▪️sulfonamide-like cmpds
▪️True Thiazide: benzothiazides, hydrochlorothiazide, chlorothiazide
▪️Thiazide-like: Not Benzothiazides, same MOA (Indopamide, Chlorthalidone, Metolazone)
▪️MOA: Natriuretics-in the DCT
▪️Less effective than loop
▪️May deadline-within 2 weeks
Thiazide Diuretics
What Class of Diuretics under (Na+) is stated below:
▪️Effects
- Natriuresis (within 2 weeks)
- Vasodilation (beyond 2 weeks)
- (+) enhance Ca2+ reabsoprtion- hypercalcemia
- (+) COX-2 = ↑PGE2
▪️Uses
-1st line: HTN
- Adjuncts: HF
- Nephrolithiasis (kidney stone)
Thiazide Diuretics
If Thiazide Diuretics take beyond >2 weeks what will happen?
Diuretic Breaking Phenomenon
1st Line treatment for HTN
CCBs
ACEIs/ARBs
Thiazide
Tx for Polyuria
Thiazide -> urination
What Class of Diuretics under (Na+) is stated below:
▪️Effects: (-) Na+ reabsorption, (-) K secretion: ↑K (blood), urine (hyperkalemia)
▪️Mechanism:
- Aldosterone Antagonism: Spironalactone, Eplerenone
- Epithelial Na+ Channel (ENaC) Inh.: Amiloride, Triamterene
- Mgt. Diuretic-induced hypokalemia - Mgt. of Hyperaldosteronism
- Spironolactone
• Diuretic of Choice: Hepatic Cirrhosis
• PCOS: antiandrogen=antiacne
K-Sparing Diuretics
What is stated below (under Diuretics)
▪️Creates an osmotic gradient in the H2O permeable sites of the kidney tubule
▪️Mgt. of ICP (Cerebral Edema)

What is stated below:
▪️plegia: Paralysis
▪️Sympathetic NS
▪️aka: sympatholytics
Sympathoplegics
