Q

Spironolactone is an

A

aldosterone antagonist
- blocks aldosterone receptors
- increased excretion
For CHF, reducing mortality
watch for hyperkalemia

Q

Angiotensin antagonists for HF like

A

ACE-I = captopril, can reduce mortality
ARBs = losartan, used in patients intolerant to ACEI

Q

Beta blockers for HF like

A

carvedilol
- slows HR, reduces BP
for CHF to slow progression, reduce mortality in mod-severe HF
** watch for brochospasm, brady, AV block

Q

What is an
-Na/K inhibitor, reducing expulsion of CA
- increases contractility, PNS activity
for chronic symptomatic HF, reducing hospitilization?

A

digoxin (cardiac glycoside)

watch for cardiac arrhythmias

16
Q

What releases NO, reduces preload + ventricular stretch, for acute and chronic HF, and needs to be monitored for postural HOTN, headache, synergistic PDE5 inhibitors?

A

imdur (isosorbide)

17
Q

What possibly increases NO synthesis n endothelium (arteriolar dilator) and reduces BP and afterload, increasing CO, and can be used + nitrates in AA to reduce mortality and must be watched for lupus symptoms?

A

hydralazine

18
Q

What releases NO spontaneously, reduces preload and afterload, for acute cardiac decompensation, but needs to be monitored for excessive HOTN and cyanide toxicity?

A

nitroprusside

19
Q

What is a beta agonist and increases contractility, CO, for acute decompensated HF, and has an additive effect w/ other sympathomimetisc?

A

dobutamine

20
Q

What is a dopamine receptor agonist that has higher doses activating beta + alpha receptors with high doses increasing cardiac force + BP and can be used for acute decompensated HF?

21
Q

What’s more useful in african americans, cost effective, and helpful in elderly due to reabsorption of calcium?

A

beta blockers

22
Q

With what drug should you expect a small bump in serum creatinine?

23
Q

Reduced renal clearance allpurinol, Digoxin, lithium, methotrexate

24
Q

When should you give loop diuretics?

A

morning or 3 hours prior to bedtime

25
Q

What should you recommend with loop diuretics?

A

potassium and magnesium supplements and have a ceiling effect due to ototoxicity

26
Q

Dyazide

A

triamterene + HCTZ
potassium sparing diuretic and thiazide

27
Q

tenoretic

A

atenolol + Chlorthalidone
BB + thiazide

28
Q

Zestoretic

A

lisonpril + HCTZ
ACEI and thiazide

29
Q

Hyzaar

A

losartan + HCTZ
ARB and thiazide

30
Q

diovan HCT

A

valsartan + HCTZ
ARB and thiazide

31
