Final Exam Cardio Flashcards
Beta Blockers (Suffix olol) what is there MOA?
Beta-blockers bind to beta-adrenoreceptors and block binding of norepinephrine and epinephrine to receptors;
Beta1 receptor stimulation what would you use them for?
Cardiac stimulation
increase contraction and HR
Cardioselective beta blockers act on B1
Beta2 receptor stimulation what would you use them for?
Lung stimulation
pheripheral vasculature
nonselective beta blockers act on B1 and B2
Adverse reactions for cardio selective beta blockers
bradycardia
decreased exercise tolerance
cold extremities
depression
Adverse reactions for non selective beta blockers
bradycardia
blocks symptoms of hypoglycemia
increased risk of hypoglycemia: blood glucose <70 mg/dl
Bronchospasm
decreased exercise tolerance
cold extremities
depression
Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors what is there MOA?
inhibits enzyme responsible for conversion of angiotensin I –> angiotensin II
Adverse reactions for ACE inhibitors?
‣ HYPERkalemia
‣ Lightheadedness
‣ Dry cough (20%)
‣ Angioedema: loss common but severe
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers what is there MOA?
blocks angiotensin II receptor blockers and angiotensin mediated aldosterone secretion
Adverse reactions of ARBS?
‣ HYPERkalemia
‣ Dry cough (less common)
What is the mechanism of action for thiazide?
Inhibit the NaCl transporter in distal renal tubule
increase Na+ and H2O excretion
Thiazide common adverse reactions?
- HYPOkalemia
- HYPOmagnesemia
- HYPERcalcemia
- HYPERglycemia
- HYPERuricemia
- Increased urination
What is the mechanism of action for Loop Diuretics?
inhibit Na/K/Cl transporter in thick ascending limb
increasese Na + and H2O excretion
Loop Diuretics adverse reactions?
- HYPOkalemia
- HYPOmagnesemia
- HYPOcalcemia
- HYPERuricemia
What is the mechanism of action of potassium spring?
inhibit Na channel in collecting tubule and collecting duct
increases Na and H2O excretion
What is the mechanism of action for aldosterone antagonists?
competes with aldosterone receptor sites in distal tubule
increases Na and H20 Excretion
What is the mechanism of action for statins?
inhibits the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which plays a role in production of cholesterol in the liver,
thereby reducing cholesterol production
What are the adverse reactions for statins?
‣ Myalgias ‣ Gas ‣ Diarrhea ‣ Dyspepsia: indigestion ‣ Increased liver enzymes

Control of breathing: what is the function of the medulla?
contains respiratory rhythmicity centers
Controls of breathing: what is the function of the pons?
adjusts rate and depth in response to sensory
stimuli, emotions, speech
What causes biots breathing?
Injury to the medulla
Description of Biots?
Irregular pattern of deep and shallow breaths. Deep breaths with occasional abrupt pauses in breathing.
What causes cheyne-stokes?
Heart failure or TBI
Description of cheyne-stokes?
Repeated cycle of deep breathing followed by shallow breathing and a short period of apnea
What causes kassmaul respiration?
metabolic acidosis and kidney failure
Description of kassmaul respiration?
Dyspnea with RR>20 br/m, increased depth of respiration, panting, air hunger
What causes asymmetrical or lateral costal breathing?
NM conditions and CVA
Descriptoin of asymmetrical or lateral costal breathing?
Asymmetrical breathing due to unilateral weakness of hemi- diaphragm or intercostals or significant scoliosis
What causes paradoxical breathing?
Asymmetric weakness (CVA), spasticity, flail chest, SCI
Description of paradoxical breathing?
All or some of the chest wall falls in during inspiration; can also see abdominal expansion during exhalation
