DIGOXIN IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW ABOUT!!!!
Digoxin stimulates the ____ which releases ____, so it slows down the ____.

A patient has nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and wants to know if they can take a statin. We know that statins have adverse effects of muscle pain (myopathy), hepatoxicity, and CYP interactions. Is it okay to still administer a stain?
Yes. With nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, there is no problems for hepatotoxicity.
*every other liver disease (hep, alcoholic), a statin would be contraindicated!
What preg category are statins?
X!!!!
How long does it take a statin to work? When should they be taken and why?
2 weeks; in the evening–that is when your body is making cholesterol and it works the best when it can block the production of cholesterol..if cholesterol is made at night, thats when it needs to be taken

Protein bound; can’t be combined with WARFARIN
RASH and GI disturbances
Fish oil
Dyslipidemia
Non-statins do more of the _____ (effects on LDL, HDL, and TG). Statins do more of the _______ (decrease number of MI, stroke)
Non-statin: Surrogate endpoint
Statin: Clinical endpoint
What level tell a doctor the patient has a hear problem. Elevated BNP or ANP?
BNP
Angiotensinogen is made by the ____
Liver
Renin is secreted by ____
Kidney
ACE is an enzyme found in the ____
Lungs
Angiotensin II causes _____
Vasoconstriction
ACE inhibitors
RAAS drugs
-Prils
ACE inhibitor (RAAS)
ARBs
RAAS drugs
-Sartans
ARBs (RAAS)
Adverse effects of ACE and ARBs (RAAS)?
HAHA first-dose HYPOTENSION (fall risk!!!) ACUTE kidney injury HYPERKALEMIA ANGIOEDEMA
What RAAS is cardioprotective?
ACE (-prils)
What RAAS causes dry cough?
ACE (-prils)
*because ACE normally breaks down bradykinin, when we block ACE with RAAS drugs, bradykinin doesn’t get broken down so a cough happens
BB: Normal effects of A1, B1, B2?
A1- constrict
B1- Heart beats faster and with more force
B2- Dilation
BB: What happens when we block A1, B1, B2?
A1 block-dilation
B1- slow HR
B2- Constriction (BAD FOR ASTHMA PTS)

- Post-MI
What else is Propranolol indicated for?
Crosses BBB so for MIGRAINE prophylaxis
Hemangioma
Stage fright
Big adverse effect of BB?
MASKING HYPOGLYCEMIA (signs to look for would be hungry, dizzy, forgetful NOT the usual shaking)
other adverse effects= symptoms of decreased BP or HR, fatigue/depression, bronchospasm [nonselective ones]
BBW for BB?
Do not abruptly stop a BB unless absolutely necessary!!!
Can we give a BB to someone with severe peanut allergy?
No; if they eat a peanut, we would need to give EPI…but if they are taking the BB, the BB blocked the EPI receptors, so the EPI WILL NOT HELP THE ALLERGIC REACTION!!
