ch 41 Flashcards
stage 1 HTN
when diagnosis is made
130-139 or 80-89
Stage 2 HTN
> 140 or >90
lifestyle mods for HTN
sodium restriction DASH diet Restricting alcohol aerobic exercise Healthy body weight smoking/tobacco cessation
What determines BP
cardiac output and peripheral resistance - increase in either with increase BP
What influences Cardiac output
Heart rate
myocardial contractility
blood volume
venous return of blood to heart
what antihypertensive meds work in the brain stem
Clonidine
methyldopa
(indirect alpha 2 agonists ch.17)
what antihypertensive meds work on the heart (B1 receptors)
B Blockers (-lol)
what antihypertensive meds work renal tubules
Thiazide diuretics
furosemide
Potassium sparing diuretics
what antihypertensive meds work on vascular A1 receptors
Prazosin
Terazosin
both BPH drugs that work on HTN
Labetalol
what antihypertensive meds work on vascular smooth muscle
Hydralazine minoxidil Nitroprusside CCBs Thiazides
what antihypertensive meds work on the B1 receptors on juxaglomerular cells (component of RAAS)
B Blockers
what antihypertensive meds work on Renin (component of RAAS)
Aliskiren
what antihypertensive meds work on ACE in RAAS
Captopril
Enalapril
Ace inhibitors
what antihypertensive meds work on Angiotensin II receptors in RAAS
Losartan
Valsartan
other ARBs
what antihypertensive meds work on Aldosterone receptors on RAAS
Eplerenone
Spironolactone
what are your classes of antihypertensive drugs
Diuretics Sympatholytics (antiadrenergic drugs) -B Blockers (-lol), A1 blockers, centrally acting Alpha 2 agonists CCBs -dihydropyridines (-pine) -nondihyropyridines (verapamil and diltiazem) Drugs that suppress RAAS -ACE (-pril)
HTN with no comorbidities - first line
Thiazide Diuretic
nephrosclerosis secondary to HTN - what meds
ACE then ARB if cant tolerate ACE
Most cases a diuretic is also used
Loop diuretic
NOOOOO potassium sparing diuretics here
HTN in a diabetic
Choices
ACEs
ARBs
(these can help slow progression of renal damage and reduce albuminuria in diabetic nephropathy pt)
CCBs (not high on the choice list - linked to increase risk of MI in this population)
diuretics in low doses (Thiazide and loop - promotes hyperglycemia)
what diuretics promote hyperglycemia
Thiazide and loop
what antihypertensive can mask the signs of hypoglycemia
B Blockers
what race is at higher risk for HTN
African Americans
Lifestyle mods and African Americans for HTN
high incidence of salt sensitivity and cigarette use. Lifestyle mods are important
