Cardiovascular Medications Flashcards
Cardiac drug receptors are most commonly
a. ANS
B. PNS
C. SNS
ANS: found on vascular smooth muscle and kidneys
Cholinergic is part of the SNS or PNS
PNS
Adrenergic is part of the SNS or PNS
SNS
Adrenergic neurotransmitters are called?
Norepinephrine/epinephrine
Cholinergic neurotrasmitters are called?
Acetylecholine
Sympathomimetics mimic:
a. adrenergic agonists
b. adrenergic antagonists
c. cholinergic agonists
d. cholinergic antagonists
a. Mimic activity of endogenous catecholamines(epinephrine and noepineprhine) and dopamine
Sympatholytic drugs mimic:
a. adrenergic agonists
b. adrenergic antagonists
c. cholinergic agonists
d. cholinergic antagonists
B. reduce action of sympathetic nervous system
Parasympathomimetics drugs mimic:
a. adrenergic agonists
b. adrenergic antagonists
c. cholinergic agonists
d. cholinergic antagonists
c, stimulate PNS activity
Parasympatholytics drugs mimic:
a. adrenergic agonists
b. adrenergic antagonists
c. cholinergic agonists
d. cholinergic antagonists
D, drugs block cholinergic activity
Alpha 1 receptors are found on:
vascular smooth muscle
Beta 1 receptors are found on:
heart cells, increase force of contraction
Beta 2 cells are found on:
lungs, skeletal muscle, liver, smooth muscle. Perform bronchodilation, uterine relaxation, increased strength
Dopamine is found on ___ and performs ___
vascular smooth muscle and heart, performs vasodilation and increased contractility
For ischemic heart disease you require ischemic drugs which include 3 major categories except:
a. beta blockers
b. calcium channel blockers
c. nitrates
d. ACE inhibitors
ACE inhibitors.
These all decrease myocardial O2 demand
lol is the suffix of which drug?
Beta blockers
Immediate nitroglycerin/nitrates would be given:
a. sublingual
b. dermal(patch)
c. injection
a. sublingual
Drugs that increase myocardial O2 supply include all of the following except:
a. beta blockers
b. Thrombolytic agents
c. Antiplatelet agents
d. Anticoagulants
e. Calcium-channel blockers-
A
“pines” are the suffix of which drug category?
Calcium channel blockers
Positive ionotropes do what?
Increase myocardial contractility
Negative ionotropes do what?
Decrease myocardial contractilty
The following drugs increase contractility of the heart except; Diuretics Beta-blockers ACE/ARB Vasodilators Positive inotropes Calcium Channel Blockers
CCBs- decrease contractilty(neg ionotrope)
“pril” are the suffic of which drug category?
ACE(Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor)
ACE drugs allow for vasocontriction or vasodilation?
Vasodilation: angiotensin is a vasocontstrictor so an inhibitor would allow for vasodilation of blood vessels
Negative ionotropes include what 2 categories of drugs?
CCB and beta blockers
HTN is treated with what major class of drugs?
Diuretics
Lipid disorders are treated with which class of drugs?
Statins
Which type of DM would you be more concerned about hypoglycemia with?
Type 1
