and barroreceptors
aldosterone is synthesised in the___
and fxn is___
adrenal cortex

- Sympatholytic agents
- Angiotensin related agents
(5. Combination therapy - most common)
Diuretics used for__
actions____
**first choice for MILD hypertension
- low cost but effective
initially=increase urine volume
delayed= decrease peripheral resistance by increaseing Na+ excretion
Loop diuretics action
=high efficacy
-blocks lots of Na+ readbsorption
= deplete K+ = HYPOKALEMIA
=retain uric acid = gout
loop diuretics list
furosemide
ethacrynic acid
thiazides action
=moderate efficacy
=stop Na+ reabsorption in distal convoluted tubule
=deplete K+ =HYPOKALEMIA
=retain uric acid= gout
thiazides list
hydrochlorothiazide
chlorthalidone
potassium sparing agents action
-reduce Na+/K+ exchange in DCT and CD
= Na+ excretion
= K+ retention
-COUNTERACTS HYPOKALEMIA
diuretic that is first line of treatment =
thiazides
bc they have moderate efficacy
all diuretics have ___ as a side effect
dehydration
Mechanism of Loop Diuretics (draw schematic)
Thiazide mechanism (draw schematic)
____ is the most effective diuretic and is longer acting
chlorthalidone
spironolactone mechanism schematic
=a K+ sparing diuretic
-inhibits Muscarinic Receptor ∴ decreases expresion of Na+/K+ ATPase
=big K+ effects
=small Na+ effects
thiameterine and amiloride mechanism (schematic)
=K+ sparing diuretics
= inhibit K+ channel on apical membrane
=HUGE K+ resprption
=small Na+ excretion
direct acting sympatholytic agetnts lower blood pressure by
- beta blockers
- reduce HR and Force = decreased CO
- reduce renin production - alpha 1 antagonists
- vasodilate (block contraction) = decreased TPR
beta blockers for decreasing BP drugs
propanolol (non-selective)
atenolol (cardioselectve)
nadolol (long-acting)
don’t use ___ in asthmatics
atenolol
indirect acting sympatholytic agents to reduce BP types=
- alpha 2 agonists
- trick nerve into thinking theres lots of NT and stop SNS activity - catecholamine release inhibitors
- inhibit vesiculare release
- can cause CNS side effects (reduced DA)
alpa 1 adrenergic receptor antagonists to control BP drug list
prazosin
terazosin
alpha 2 agonists drug list
clonidine
catecholamine release inhibiors drug list
reseprine
hydralazine
direct vasodilator
oral drug
=selective arterial dilator
Calcium Channel Blockers
vasodilator
oral drug
block Ca+ dependent channels on vascular smooth muscle
CCB mechanism schematic
minoxidil
vasodilator
oral drug
higly effective!
lots of side effects! (excessive hair)
last resort
alpha 1 receptor antagonists will mimic ___ effects
CCBs bc they also block the V-G Na+ channels
sodium nitroprusside
parenteral drug
vasodilator
diazoxide
vasodilator
parenteral drug
highly effective and long acting ∴ not a first choice drug
Nitrates mechanism of action schematic
hydralazine, diaxodine, monoxidil mech. of action schematic
CCB’s can target____ channels
L-type Voltage Dependent Ca2+ channels on cardiac or vascular smooth muscle
Non-cardioactive CCB’s action
-more selective for Ca2+ channels on smooth muscle than in heart ∴ don’t have an effect on heart
= dihydropyridines
non-cardioactive CCB’s drug list
all =dihydropyridines
- amlodipine - long half life
- nifedipine - short half life
short acting dihydropyridines
= increased risk for acute MI
=AVOID
=nifedipine
-only use extended release version if nifedipine
long acting dihydropyridines
- use these for hypertension or angina pectoris
=amlodipine
cardioactive CCB’s action
=equally selective for ca2+ channels on vascular smooth muscle AND in heart
∴ relaxe sm. muscle AND reduce CO
verapamil
diltiazem
cardioactive CCB’s drugs
vasodialtor side effects
- postural (orthostatic) hypotension
- flushing/sweating headache
- reflex tachycardia
- body’s reflex is to set at high BP so barroreceptors (+) increased HR - reflex fluid retention
- juxtaglom. retain Na+ to increase volume
to prevent reflex tachycardia we coadminister ___
beta blocker
to prevent reflex fluid retention with vasodilation we coadminister ___
diuretic drug
beta blockers tha are also vasodilators drug list
=decreas CO AND TPR
carvendilol
nebivolol
carvendilol
mixed beta 1/2 and alpha 1 antagonist
∴decreases CO AND TPR
nebivolol
beta 1 blocker that promotes NO production
∴decreases CO AND TPR
