CV Drugs Flashcards
What are the classes of drugs that have effects on the heart?
Anticholinergics
Antiarrhythmics
Vasopressors/Iontropes
What are two types of Vasopressors/Iontropes?
Adrenergic agonists
Vasopressin
What is the ultimate goal of CV drugs?
Oxygen delivery to the tissues
DO2
Oxygen Delivery to Tissues
What is DO2 dependent on?
Cardiac Output
Blood O2 content (CaO2)
CaO2
Blood O2 content
What is the equation for DO2?
CO x CaO2
What is the equation for CO?
Heart Rate X Stroke Volume
What are the targets for CV drugs?
Heart Rate
Contractility
Afterload/Preload
What drugs affect Heart rate?
Anticholinergics
Antiarrhythmics
What are drugs that effect Contractility?
Inotropes
What are drugs that effect Afterload/Preload?
Pressors
What is the definition of Anticholinergics?
Competitive antagonists at the muscarinic Ach receptors
What drugs antagonize Nicotinic Ach receptors?
Neuromuscular Blockers
What kind of drugs decrease parasympathetic tone?
parasympatholytics
What is the effect of Anticholinergics?
Decreases Parasympathetic tone
Increased firing of the SA node (chronotropy) and conduction speed through the AV node (dromotopy)
Where are M1 receptors located?
CNS
Stomach
Where are M2 receptors located?
Heart
CNS
airway smooth muscle
What do M2 receptors cause?
bradycardia
Where are M3 receptors located?
CNS
salivary glands
airway smooth muscle
Where are M4 receptors located?
CNS
Heart
Where are M5 receptors located?
CNS
What do M3 receptors cause?
Salivation
bronchodilation
vasodilation
When are anticholinergics indicated?
Bradycardia secondary to increased vagal tone
What increases vagal tone?
Intubation vomiting manipulation of ophthalmic GI Hepatobiliary structures Opioids Brachycephalic conformation
What are the side effects of anticholinergics?
Increased viscosity of saliva Ileus and colic decreased LES pressure sedation bronchodilation mydriasis
