Q

Angiotensin 2 positive and negative effects

A

The postive effects if angiotensin 2 are it plays the major part homeostasis, decrease thrombosis, decrease platelet aggregation but when endothilial is damage it does the oppsite cause thrombosis, platelet agregation and plaque.

19
Q

ACE inhibitor meds are

A

Lisinopril (Prinivil, Zestril) 10 – 40MG Daily

Enalapril (Vasotec) 5 – 40MG 1-2 times daily

20
Q

The ACE inhibitor is also considered

A

First-line therapy in HTN guidelines (without compelling indication)

21
Q

When someone already has a heart attack and they are established. what ACE will do

A

improves their chance of second heart attack and reduces hospitalization.

22
Q

Compelling use of an ACE inhibitor

A

Post-MI & HFrEF
renal protection for patients with protein-related DM DKD or CKD
Elevated UACR (> 30mg/g)
eGFR < 60

It helps patients with post-MIT, hfref AND protects kidney

When they already have it then we use it but we cannot use to prevent it from happening.

23
Q

When not to use ACE

A

HTN: less efficacy as monotherapy in Black patients, consider combo therapy when used (need adequate dose!)
Contraindicated in pregnancy Especially in the 2nd and 3rd trimester
Pt with Bilateral Renal Artery Stenosis

24
Q

ARB Angiotensin Receptor Blocker MOA

A

Block the activity of Angiotensin 2 at the Type 1 receptor

25
Q

Stimulation of AT1 ________ Inhibiton of At1 _________

A

Vasoconstriction, Vasodilation

26
Q

ARB does not cause what side effect

A

Bradykinin

27
Q

ARB meds are

A

Irbesartan (Avapro) 150 – 300 Daily
Lorsartan (Cozaar) 50 – 100 1-2 times daily
Valsartan (Diovan) 80 – 320 Daily

28
Q

Special compelling for ARB are

A
Compelling use in Post-MI & HF
•Compelling use in renal protection for patients with protein-related 
DM DKD or CKD 
•Elevated UACR
•eGFR < 60
29
Q

ARB has ONE extra advantage and why

A

•Consider losartan in pts with PMH of gout due to increased urinary uric acid excretion

30
Q

ACEI / ARB Adverse Drug Events (ADE)

A

Slight rise in SCr at initiation (<30% rise from
baseline acceptable)
• Hyperkalemia have Increased risk in pt with CKD
Dry Cough* (Can be DELAYED) –> Asian Americans have a higher incidence of ACE inhibitor–induced cough.
Angioedema* (Rare: <1%)

31
Q

Contraindicated: of ACEI / ARB are

A

Pregnancy Category D & Bilateral Renal

Artery Stenosis

32
Q

cough and angioedema are less common with _____ but have a chance of happening

A

ARBs

33
Q

Lisinopril-induced cough will not be effected by cough suppressant the solution is

A

Change to ARB.

34
Q

Lisinopril-induced angioedema can be cure by

A

changing to ARB means wait 6 week wash out period.

than change to ARB

35
Q

ACE/ARB Drug Interactions are

A

Effect k+ so not use with K+ sparing dieuretics or supplements

36
Q

ACE/ARB monitoring include

A

B.P. SCr, BUN, K+, angioedema and cough

Asses blood test for electorlytes and renal function 2 to 4 weeks after initiating therapy

37
Q

Direct Renin Inhibitor MOA

A

Block RAAS at its initial point of activation and prevent formation of ATI AND ATII

38
Q

Direct Renin drug (cousin of ARB/ACE) name is

A

Aliskirn

39
Q

One imporant thing about Direct Renin Inhibitor is

A

Do not use with ARB/ACE as it will increase K+ level

40
Q

ALDOSTERONE Antagonist MOA

A

Inhibit aldosterone receptor in distal tubule, and increasing NaCl & H20 excretion while conserving K+.

Block effect of aldosterone on arteriolar smooth muscle

(Work on fluid balance and smooth muscle)

41
Q

Aldosterone Antagonists are

A

Spironolactone (Aldactone) 25 – 100mg/day 1-2times/day

42
Q

Aldosterone antagonist should be avoided in

A

someone has elevated K+

or less kidney fuction

43
Q

Alodosterone antagonist is effective in

A

Heart failure with reduce ejection fraction
Primary aldostronsim ( elevated eldostrone)
Resistant HTN

44
Q

Spironolactone adverse effect are

A
Hyperkalemia 
Hyponaterima
Gynecomastia ( main issue in males)
impotence 
Hpotension
45
Q

Excess stimulation of Renin-angiotensinaldosterone system (RAAS) can lead to

A

Increased sympathetic activity
Increased PVR (arteriolar vasoconstriction)
Water / salt retention

Lead to elevated BP

46
Q

Inhibiting RAAS lead s to

A

Leads to lowering BP

47
Q

Adverse effects specific to Aldosteron antagonist are

A
