HTN 2 Flashcards
What is MOA of ACE-I?
stops conversion of angiotensin I into angiotensin II
- vasodilators
- prevents LV remodeling
- reduces mortality
- blocks aldosterone and decreases Na and water retention
What is MOA of ARB?
blocks AT1 receptor
- vasodilator
- same as ACE but no cough
What are ADE of ACE/ARB (3)?
hyperkalemia
hypotension
angioedema and cough (ACE-I)
T/F you can combine ACE and ARB
False
What patient population benefits from ACE and ARBS?
white young men
contraindications for ACE/ARB?
- pregnancy
- CKD
- cough
- hyperkalemia
Drug interactions with ACE-I and ARBS?
NSAIDS
-PDE5/viagra
What should be monitored in ACE and ARBS?
- serum creatinine
- K
What is MOA for Aliskiren?
- blocks renin
- stops RAAS system
When should you not use Aliskiren?
- when CrCL is less than 60
- pregnancy
T/F Aliskiren works synergistically with ACE and ARBs?
TRUE
T/F Aliskiren is first line treatment for HTN
False
What is MOA of beta blockers?
blocks beta 1 and beta 2 receptors to slow HR down?
-stops renin release
Name one non-selective B1 and B2 blocker?
Propranolol
Name 1 selective B1 blocker?
Metoprolol
Name alpha 1 and beta 1 blocker (3)?
Carvedilol and Nebivolol and Labetalol
T/F Labetalol is safe in pregnancy
TRUE
ADE with Beta blockers (3)
- bradycardia
- AV node blocks
- bronchospasm
T/F Metoprolol and propranolol undergo extensive first pass effect?
TRUE
What should you monitor in beta blockers (4)?
- HR
- BS in diabetes
- CHF
- edema
Drug interactions with Beta Blockers (4)?
- NSAIDS
- CCB
- digoxin
- cardiac depressants
What are the clinical uses of beta blockers (5)?
- angina
- post MI
- HF
- HTN
- antiarrhythmics (propranolol is used to treat atrial arrhythmias
T/F Carvedilol is the go to treatment for HF?
TRUE
T/F Propranolol is used to treat migraines because it is lipophilic
TRUE
What is the mechanism of Prazosin and Doxazosin?
Alpha 1 blocker
-block NE and EPI from binding to alpha 1 receptor to prevent vasoconstriction
What are drug interactions of Prazosin and Doxazosin? (3)
decrease efficacy of dabigatran(anti-coagulant)
- linagliptin/ DM med
- vincristine cancer med)
what are the clinical uses if Alpha 1 blockers? (2)
- BPH
- PTSD/reduces bad dreams
