CHF, HTN, Angina Flashcards
Resepine
Interferes with vesicle storage. DA, 5HT, NE central and peripheral
- decrease CO, TPR (NE periphery)
Oral. t1/2 24hrs with 6wks of effect
TX. HTN
ADV. depression (severe), edema, increase GI secretions
Guanethidine
interferes with storage vessicles by binding inhibit NE release
- decreases TPR and CO
TX. HTN
ADV. diarrhea, edema
DI: TCAs block reuptake thus block action of the drug
Nitroprusside
Nitric Oxide
decrease TPR dilating arterioles and venules
TX. HTN emergencies (IV)
ADV. cyanide toxicity (coadminister with nitrites and thiosulfate)
Hydralazine
Nitric Oxide
decrease TPR dilating arterioles
TX. moderate to severe HTN
ADV. SLE-like symptoms, slow acetylators, edema, reflex tachycardia
Minoxidil
open K+ channels hyperpolarizing smooth muscle
arteriolar vasodilation
TX. severe HTN, baldness (topical)
ADV. hypertrichosis (hair), edema, reflex tachycardia
Diazoxide
open K+ channels hyperpolarizing smooth muscle
arteriolar vasodilation
TX. HTN emergency
ADV. hyperglycemia (decrease insuline release), edema, reflex tachycardia
dihydropyridines
Ca+ channel blocker (arteriolar blood vessels - decrease TPR)
TX. HTN, angina
ADV, reflex tachycardia, gingival hyperplasia
Nifedipine
Ca+ channel blocker (arteriolar blood vessels - decrease TPR)
TX. HTN, angina
ADV, reflex tachycardia, gingival hyperplasia
Captopril
~pril. ACE Inhibitor (inhibit Angio II formation preventing AT1 resecptor stimulation)
decrease aldosterone and vasodilation, prevent bradykinin degradation.
TX. mild to moderate HTN, CHF, protective of diabetic neuropathy
ADV. dry cough, hyperkalemia, acute renal failure in renal artery stenosis, angioedema.
CI. pregnancy
Losartan
~sartan. AT1 receptor blocker.
decrease aldosterone and vasodilation
TX. mild to moderate HTN, CHF, protective of diabetic neuropathy
ADV. hyperkalemia, acute renal failure in renal artery stenosis, angioedema.
CI. pregnancy
antiHTN drugs used in comorbid conditions
HTN comorbid
Angina (Beta blockers, Ca channel blockers)
Diabetes (ACE inhibitor, AT1 receptor blockers)
Heart Failure (ACE inhibitors, AT1 receptor inhibitors, beta blockers)
Post-MI (beta blockers)
BPH (alpha blockers)
Dyslipidemias (alpha blocker, Ca+ channel blockers, ACE inhibitor, AT1 receptor inhibitor)
Bosentan
Endothelin receptor A antagonist.
oral
TX. pulmonary HTN
ADV. vasodilation (flushing, headache, hypotension).
CI. pregnanacy
Epoprostenol
PGI2 prostacyclin
infusion pp administration
TX. pulmonary HTN
Sildenafil
PDE type V inhibitor
increases cGMP (relax pulm artery)
TX. pulmonary HTN
Nitroglycerin
Nitrate (NO prodrug)
venodilator (decrease preload)
sublingual, transdermal, IV
TX. Angina
ADV. flushing, headache, orthostatic hypotension, reflex tachycardia, fluid retention
CI: tachyphylaxis with repeated use. Cadio tox with sildenafil (PDE inhiitor to increase cGMP)
