58
Q

Post-MI HTN DOC

A

B blockers

59
Q

Your patient with htn is refractory, what do you do?

A

Adding a second drug with a different mechanism of action is typically more effective than increasing dose of the first drug→ reduces side effects

60
Q

For ED and more spontaneous sexual activity due to longer duration of action. Also has NO visual side effects reported.

61
Q

HTN+DM (+/-DM nephropathy) DOC

A

Captopril/enalapril (ACE-I)

62
Q

The only loop diuretic which is not a sulfonamide and can be given to allergic patients

A

alpha one agonists (prazosin)
Combinded alpha 1 and beta agonists (Labetalol, carvedilol)
ACE-I
ARBs

64
Q

High physical activity +HTN least preferred

A

Aminocaproic acid

Tranexamic acid

73
Q

Diuretic which causes the most NaCl excretion

A

Monotherapy: loops

Comination therapy: loop+thiazide (more than loop alone)

74
Q

Meds which are ineffective at producing coronary vasodilation and therefore not useful for variant/angiospastic angina

A

Beta blockers

78
Q

To reduce preload in heart failure

A

Diuretic

Venodilator

79
Q

Potassium antiarrhythmic MOA

A

Increased serum K+:
→ more positive (depolarized) resting potential
→ membrane potential stabilizing action by increased K+ permeability: hyperpolarizing→ this action predominates

Thiazides or CCBs

81

Q

Nephrolithiasis

A

Thiazide diuretics increase Ca++ reabsorption, leading to less stones in tubule

88
