Q

Beta pressor

A

Pressurizes heart or lungs - stimulate the beta1 receptors in the heart - this increases both HR and inotropy (contractility), which ↑ CO and hopefully BP

29
Q

Hypertension and CHF Medications ABCD

A

Ace Inhibitors
Beta Blockers
Calcium Channel Blockers
Diuretics

30
Q

Hypertension Medications

A

Diuretics - volume depletion
Aldosterone Receptor Blockers - inhibits aldosterone binding
Beta-Blockers - block SNS, ↓ HR and BP, used after MI
Vasodilators - ↓ peripheral resistance –> ↓ BP & ↑ CO
ACE inhibitors - ↑ peripheral resistance –> ↓ BP
Calcium Channel Blockers - ↓ workload of heart through arterial vasodilation, reduce cardiac afterload

31
Q

HTN Medications 2 main actions

A

Decrease the volume of circulating blood

Reduce SVR

32
Q

Vasodilators

A

33
Q

MI/Unstable Angina – MONA

A

Aspirin - antiplatelet action
Nitroglycerin SL or spray - if BP > 90
Morphine IV - if pain not relieved with NTG

34
Q

Medications used to treat HF

A 
ACE Inhibitors - lower PVR, ↓ BP
ARBs - same as above
Diuretics - remove fluid from the body
Cardiac Glycosides - digoxin
Beta-Blockers - block SNS, ↓ workload of the heart
35
