What do ace inhibitors do?
Stop the enzyme, angiotensin converting enzyme from converting angiotensin, one to angiotensin two
What are diuretics
First line treatment for hypertension in heart failure, because I reduce extra cellular fluid volume
Inexpensive
Take early in the day
Monitor wait
Oh, what are the classes of diuretics?
Thiazide diuretic
Loop diuretics
Potassium sparing
What are thiazide diuretic?
Inhibit, sodium reabsorption and distal tubes of kidneys
HCTZ MACROZIDE, Cholorthalidone, indapamide Lozol, metolozone zaroxolyn
Other thiazide diuretics information
How does therapy HCTZ greater than 50, has increased risk of hypokalemia increase uric acid levels and serious cardiovascular outcomes using combination verse, pushing hard does
Watch with patients with hyper lipidemia and get out
Potential for cross sensitivity to sulfa
What are loop diuretics
Inhibit reabsorption of sodium in ascending loop of Henle
Potential for crossing certificate with sulfur
Furosemide, torsemide, bumetanide
What are potassium sparing diuretics?
Often used in combination with thiazide to help reverse, low, potassium affect
Triamterene, Spira lactone, eplerenone inspra
Pharmacodynamics of ace inhibitors
Prevent angiotensin, one to converting to angiotensin two
Can lower vascular resistance with a decreasing cardiac output, a globular filtration rate
Does not Produce reflux tachycardia
What do ace inhibitors do for the kidneys and heart?
Reduce cardiovascular and stroke, risk, reduction, heart failure, and slowing renal disease
Improves oxygenation to the heart
Reduces effects of diabetes on the kidneys. It protects the kidneys.
Improves insulin sensitivity does not affect glucose metabolism. Maria’s serum, lipid levels.
Who do you use ace inhibitors for?
Young Caucasian patients
Patients with angina decreases pulmonary vascular resistance
Diabetic patients prevents or slows neuropathy
Heart failure patients
What patients are not good with ace inhibitors
African-Americans, unless combined with a diuretic
African-Americans in Asians are 3 to 4 times greater risk of developing angioedema
Ace inhibitors contraindications and side effects
Dry cough, hypotension, Angoedema, hyperkalemia, pancreatitis, jaundice, rush
Contra indicated in pregnancy
Ace inhibitor monitoring
Orthostatic hypertension, within one hour of those and one starting each dosage change
Do not double dose of phone is messed
Hypotension is most common side effect
Call common with older agents
fall risk
Renal failure
Can cause hyperkalemia when paired with HCTZ
Ace and angioedema
Call 911
Paleness or flushing of the face
Swelling of the face eyes lips are tongue
Difficulty breathing
Hoarseness, difficulty swallowing
Caused by histamine release
