Prefix for angiotensin 2 receptor blockers
Sartan
Prefix for beta blockers
Lol
Prefix for hmg Coa educates inhibitors
Statins
Uses of nitrates
Prophylaxis and treatment for angina
Action of nitrates
Dialation of bold vessels to decrease preload and myocardial demand
Define atrial fibrillation
Rapid, ineffective atrial contractions
Define atriol flutter
Milder form of a-fib but often progresses to a-fib
Classes I antidysrythmic drugs
Class 1: membrane stabilizing Class 2: beta blocking drugs Class 3: inhibits adrenergic stimulation ** nasty side effects Class 4: calcium channel blockers
Action of calcium channel blocker
Decreases excitability of condition in av node and blood pressure to decrease workload of heart
Action of a diuretic
Increases urine formation to increase removal of water and sodium
Action of a loop diuretic
Produces potent diuresis and fluid loss by blocking sodium absorption in loop of henle and also activating kidney prostaglandins for vasodilation
Action of potassium sparring diuretics
Weakest diuretic that blocks aldosterone in the collecting ducts
Blocks sodium and water so they can be excreted
Action of thiazides diuretics
Acts in distal convoluted tubule to real arterioles and inhibit reabsorption of sodium, potassium and chloride to decrease preload and after load
Uses for cardiac glycosides
Heart failure
Dysrythmias
Promoting diuresis
Action of cardiac glycosides
Increases contractility by increase sodium and calcium
Increases diastolic filling to reduce heart rate and increase cardia efficiency
Decreases rate of conduction at sa and av nodes
Indication for beta blockers
Hypertension and glaucoma
Actions of beta blockers
Blocks b receptors to reduce heart rate
Reduce secretion of renin to decrease aldosterone and reduce vasoconstriction
Use of ace inhibitors
Hypertension
Heart failure
Protective effect on kidneys
Cardio protective effect
Define remodelling
Permanent ventricular myocardial wall damage from hyperactive renin angiotensin aldosterone system
Action of ace inhibitors
Inhibits angiotensin converting enzyme from converting angiotensin 1 into angiotensin 2 and prevents breakdown of bradykinin and substance p (vasodialators)
Responsibility of angiotensin 2
Responsible for
- vasoconstriction
- inducing aldosterone secretion
Use of anticoagulants
Prevent formation of clot by inhibiting clotting factors
Have no direct effects on clots already formed
