Q

What are 4 drugs in the dihydropyridine family?

A

Nicardipine
Amlodipine
Clevidipine
Nifedipine

102
Q

Explain the angiotensin pathway

A

Angiotensinogen is activated by Renin to create angiotensin 1, angiotensin converting enzyme converts angiotensin 1 to angiotensin 2. Angiotensin 2 works on vasoconstriction and aldosterone secretion. Vasoconstriction leads to increased peripheral vascular resistance. Aldosterone leads to increased water and sodium retention. Overall effect: increased blood pressure.

103
Q

Where do dihydropyridine drugs primarily work

A

Targeted toward periphery and NOT the heart

104
Q

What is pulmonary hypertension?

A

Increased pressure in pulmonary arteries –> leakage in pulmonary arteries –> fluid build up in the lungs –> pneumonia/death

111
Q

What are 2 examples of Endothelin Receptor Antagonists

A

Bosentan (Tracleer)
Tezosentan

112
Q

What drug class blocks angiotensin converting enzymes?

A

ACE Inhibitors

113
Q

What is the MOA of endothelin receptor antagonists?

A

Blocks endothelin type receptors (ETA & ETP)

Causes HIGH shear stree –> NO release –> decrease in BP

Prevents additional proliferation of endothelial cells

114
Q

What if the suffix associated with ACE inhibitors

A

“-pril”

115
Q

Overall MOA of ACE Inhibitors

A

decreased pvr, CO, HR

116
Q

What do ETA and ETP normally do?

A

Causes vasoconstriction –> proliferation of smooth muscle (after prolonged activation of receptors)

117
Q

what pathway do ACE inhibitors also work on?

A

Inflammation pathway

118
Q

what do ACE inhibitors do to bradykinins?

A

Increases bradykinins present in blood

119
Q

Where do Endothelin cells come from?

A

Comes from vascular endothelium (the cells that line the blood vessels)

Produced by low shear stress release of angiotensin II, release of cytokines, and thrombin

120
Q

What is the pathway of bradykinins when acted on by ACE inhibitors

A

Prostaglandins are stimulated, vasodilation occurs

121
Q

What are the adverse effects of Endothelin Receptor Antagonists?

A

HA, edema, rash, hepatoxicity, and teratogenesis

122
Q

What is the side effect associated with bradykinins and what causes that side effect?

A

Cough

Prostaglandins increase secretions in lungs which increases secretions in respiratory tract

123
Q

What is the BP range for Initial (pre) HTN

A

SBP 120-140

124
Q

How do you treat pre-hypertension?

A

Non-pharmacological approach

Exercise
Weight Reduction
Evaluate drugs increasing BP in patient

125
Q

severe hypotension, teratogenic in first trimester, rashes

126
Q

What are some drugs/things that can increase BP in patient? (5)

A

(SBP >180/110) WITH acute end organ damage, kidney failure, infarct, and stroke

What percentage of Hypertensive crises are Hypertensive Emergencies

A

<1%

150
Q

how does nitroglycerin treat angina?

increases oxygen supply to heart, vasodilation

151

Sodium nitroprusside & Fenoldepam

152

Classic angina
Variant angina
Unstable angina

153

A

Labetalol, CCB, hydralazine/methyldopa

154
Q

What’s the worst angina someone could have?

A

unstable angina

155
Q

Causes of classic angina

A

decreased BF to cardiac myocytes (CAD, atherosclerosis) + working out, decrease in O2 supply
anaerobic metabolism
ischemia

156
Q

How does smooth muscle normally contract in vasculature that feeds a cardiac myocyte

A

Calcium influxes in and binds to calmodulin creating calmodulin complex.

It then activates MLCK (myosin-light chain kinase) to phosphorylate MLC (myosin light chains), interacting with actin to cause a contraction

157
Q

Causes of variant angina

A

temp O2 decreased supply due to vasospasm
SUPER RARE 2%

158
Q

How to treat variant angina

A

potent vasodilators

159
Q

does unstable angina go away with rest?

A

no, it’s an emergency

160
Q

Is a beta blocker a vasodilator?

A

no, decreases O2 demand by B1 dilating microarterioles but they also cause vasoconstriction on epicardial arteries

161
Q

How can you relax vascular tone with CCB

A

CCB inhibits the influx of calcium into myocyte preventing the binding of calmodulin

162
Q

How can you relax vascular tone with Nitrates?

A

Nitrates release NO that increases cGMP resulting in vasodilation/relaxation

Increase blood flow and oxygen to heart

163
Q

How can you relax vascular tone with B2 agonists

A

B2 agonists dephosphorylate myosin light chains PO4 resulting in vasodilation/relaxation

164
Q

__________ cells release NO in response to high shear stress

A

Endothelial

165
Q

_________ inhibits breakdown of cGMP which increases relaxation

A

Sildenafil

166
Q

What is the MOA of Nitroglycerin

A

Releases NO from nitroglycerin compound –> vascular smooth muscle relaxation

167
Q

What are hemoglobin interactions with nitrates

A

Causes methemoglobin (increases nitrate attachment)

Lowers affinity for O2

168
Q

What are pFOXs?

A

lipid, fatty acid chains that utilizie anaerobic metabolism. they break down fatty acids for energy

169
Q

What blocks pFOXs?

A

pFOX inhibitors

170
Q

What is the MOA of pFOX

A

decrease pFOX by increase glucose utilization, resulting in more aerobic metabolism, less ischemia

171
Q
A
172
Q

what is GABAs intent in the brain

A

Inhibitory

173
Q

what is glutamates intent in the brain

A

Excitatory

174
Q

What type of drug is edrophonium and what does it treat?

A

Cholinesterase inhibitor, MG and ileus

175
Q

What type of drug is neostigmine and what does it treat?

A

cholinesterase inhibitor, MG and ileus

176
Q

what type of drug is pyridostigmine and what does it treat?

A

Cholinesterase inhibitor, treats MG

177
Q

Echothiophate drug class

A

Cholinesterase inhibitor, treats glaucoma, organophosphate

178
Q

How long does the organophosphate echothiophate last for when treating glaucoma?

A

100 hours

179
Q

What medication do we give when we SLUDGE-M side effects (cholinergic OD)

A

Atropine

180
Q

MAOI mechanism of action

A

Inhibits the reuptake of NE

181
Q

What foods to avoid with MAOIs

A

Foods high in tyramine, beer, cheese, wine

182
Q

Where does alpha-1 work and is it excitatory and inhibitory and what second messengers does it utilize

A
