16
Q

toxicities of digoxin

A
  • hyperkalemia - accelerated junctional rhythm - asystole - atrial tach - heart block - dizziness, mental disturbances, HA, confusion - rash - N/V/D - blurred or yellow vision
17
Q

aliskiren

A

blocks renin

18
Q

ARBs

A

aldosterone receptor blockers

19
Q

ACE inhibitors cause what sx by maintaining bradykinin in the body

A
  • vasodilation - decrease in GFR - cough - inflammation
20
Q

ACE inhibitors lead to less angiotensin II, the effect of these inhibitors is:

A
  • less vasoconstriction (decreased afterload) - less aldosterone secretion so less water retention (decreased preload) - decreased cell proliferation and remodeling
21
Q

Losartan

A

angiotensin II receptor antagonist

22
Q

Captopril

A

ACE inhibitor

23
Q

effects of captopril

A
  • lowers angiotensin II levels –> increased renin activity and decreased aldosterone secretion - lowers BP
24
Q

toxicities of captopril

A
  • cough - hypotension - HA - angioedema
25
Q

effects of Losartan

A
  • inhibition of RAAS - blocks vasoconstriction and aldosterone secretion effects of angiotensin II
26
Q

toxicities of Losartan

A
  • effects common in pts with diabetic neuropathy - hypotension - fatigue, dizziness, fever - cough
27
Q

valsartan/sacubitril

A

inhibits neutral endopeptidase –> prolongs natriuretic peptides –> increased vasodilation

28
Q

toxicities of valsartan/sacubitril

A
  • hypotension - hyperkalemia - increased serum creatinine
29
Q

carvedilol

A

beta blocker - nonselective beta and alpha adrenergic blocker with no intrinsic sympathomimetic activity

30
Q

toxicities of carvedilol

A
  • hypotension - bradycardia - syncope - AV block - cough
31
Q

carvedilol should only be administered to _____ pts

A

clinically stable pts

32
Q

pts with left ventricular systolic dysfunction caused by MI should be give ____ with carvedilol

A

ACE inhibitors

33
Q

ivabradine MOA

A

inhibition of HCN channels and funny channels in SA node

34
Q

ivabradine clinical app

A

tx of resting tachycardia

35
Q

toxicities of ivabradine

A
  • bradycardia - hypertension - increased risk a fib - heart block
