38
Q

Examples of Diuretics?

A

Thiazide diuretics (Chlorthalidone)

Loop Diuretics (Furosemide) Lasics

Potassium-sparing diuretics (Triamterene)

Aldosterone Receptor Blockers (Spironolactone)

39
Q

Thiazide diuretics ?

A

(Chlorthalidone)

40
Q

Loop Diuretics?

A

Furosemide) Lasics

41
Q

Potassium-sparing diuretics

A

Triamterene

42
Q

Aldosterone Receptor Blockers

A

Spironolactone

43
Q

Examples of Renin- Angiotension system

A

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors (ACEI) (Lisinopril)

Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARB) (Losartan)

44
Q

Examples of Vasodilators?

A

Calcium Channel Blockers* (Amlodipine)

Alpha 1 Blockers (Doxazosin) - prostate

Alpha 2 Agonists (Clonidine) - knock it down fast but pos the time we do want to drop the BP to fast

Direct Vasodilators (Hydralazine) - vasodilator

45
Q

Rate control? heart rate

A

Beta-blockers (Metoprolol) - rate control is not great; v so the rate down o the stroke volume is more effective - not pushing out as much blood - used mostly with people with true heart disease ( CHF) - decreases demand of the heart

46
Q

Thiazide diuretics MOA

A

Blocks sodium resorption at the distal tubule of kidney nephrons

Causes increase salt concentration in urine

Water follow salt for increased diuresis

SE: gout, hypokalemia

47
Q

Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitors (ACEI) MOA?

A

Inhibits conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II

Inhibits vasoconstriction by angiotensin II

Increases kidney blood flow
increasing diuresis

SE: cough

48
Q

Beta-blockers MOA?

A

Blocks sympathetic beta receptors

Decrease heart rate which decreases cardiac output

this also messes with the kidney beta cells

best for pregnancy

49
Q

Calcium Channel Blockers (CCB) MOA?

A

Inhibit calcium influx

smooth muscle relaxation and arterial dilation

best for AA and elderly and if renal failure

50
Q

CHF

A

loop diuretic, ACEI, BB

51
Q

Post- MI

52
Q

Renal disease

53
Q

Diabetes

54
Q

Pregnancy

A

beta blocker ( labaetalol?)

55
Q

BPH

A

alpha 1 antagonist

56
Q

Liver Disease, ascites

A

aldosterone antagonist

57
Q

African americans

A

diuretic, CCB

58
Q

Elderly

A

diuretic, CCB

59
Q

If acute HTN that is asymptomatic consider giving?

60
Q

If acute HTN that is symptomatic consider giving?

A

meds to lower BP by 25-33%
or
treat underlying casue

61
Q

One thing we have to be careful of when prescribing BP meds?

A

Do NOT decrease the BP to rapidly cause we can cause a stroke

62
Q

Emergency HTN medical management Step 1 ?

A

Initiate antihypertensive by end organ damage

63
Q

Q

Emergency HTN medical management Step 2?

A

Treat underlying condition

Hypertensive urgency

65
Q

Emergency HTN medical management Step 3, if symptomatic?

A

Initiate treatment - antihypertensive by end organ damage

66
Q

Emergency HTN medical management Step 4 ?

A

consider discharge

Initiate antihypertensive by comorbidities

67

69
Q

Hypertensive emergency First Line options IV, especially if MI?

A

Nitroglycerin

70
Q

Hypertensive emergency First Line options IV additional choices?

A

A

beta blocker - labetalol, esmolol

72
Q

Hypertensive urgencies/emergencies - Acute renal failure?

A

dopamine 1 receptor agonist

73
Q

Hypertensive urgencies/emergencies - Pregnancy?

A

direct vasodilator

74
Q

Hypertensive urgencies/emergencies - Oral options for less severe emergencies

A

CCN

Clonidine
Captopril
Nifedipine

75
Q

Hypertensive Emergency - Aortic dissection tx?

A

B-Blocker ( labetalol, esmolol)
then,
Nicardipine, nitroprusside

76
Q

Hypertensive Emergency - Pulmonary edema tx?

A

Nitroglycerine

Enalaprilat or Nicardipine

77
Q

Hypertensive Emergency - MI tx?

A

Nitroglycerine

78
Q

Hypertensive Emergency - Sympathetic crisis (cocaine OD) tx?

A

Benzodiazepine (decrease stimulation)
Nitroglycerine

No BB cause it causes severe HTN

79
Q

Hypertensive Emergency - Renal failure tx?

A

Labetalol

Nicardipine
