Hypertension Flashcards
Diuretics:
Hydrochlorothiazide
Chlorothiazide
Furosemide
Chlorthalidone
Ag receptor blocker:
Losartan, valosartan
Candesartan, telmisartan, irbesartan
ACE inhibitor:
Captopril, lisonopril, enalapril, ramipril
CCBs
Verapamil, Diltiazem and nifedipine.
VDs
Hydralazine, minoxidil, diazoxide and Na-nitropruside
Beta andrenoceptor blocker:
Nadolol, Bisoprolol, Atenolol, metoprolol,propranolol, labetalol, carvidalol
Alpha Adrenoceptor blockers
Prazosin, doxazosin and terazosin
Centrally acting sympatholytic
Clonidine, alpha methyl dopq
Chlorthalidone may be more effective tha chlorothiazide:
Because it has a longer half-life
Used primarily for hypertension during pregnancy and it causes reduction in renal vascular resistance :
Alpha methyledopa
Drug that – symp and ++ parasymp by sensitizing brainstem vasomotor center to inhibition by baro reflex:
Clonidine
Which lower HR and COP more?
Clonidine or Alpha methyl dopa;
Clonidine
Cardioselective Beta blocker, advanageous in treating hypertensive patients who also suffer from asthma, diabetes or peripheral vascular disease:
Metoprolol and atenolol.
Non cardioselective BBs
Nadolol, Carteolol
Beta1 selective blockers:
Betaxolol and bisoprolol
Partial agonists with greater agonist than antagonist effects at bita2 R:
Pindolol, Acebutolol and Penbutolol
Drug that beneficial for patients with bradyarrythmias or peripheral vascular disease
Pindolol, Acebutolol and Penbutolol
Drugs have both beta-blocking and vasodilating effects:
Labetalol, carvedilol and Nebivolol
Drug that useful in treating the hypertension of pheochromocytomq and hypertensive emergencies
Labetalol
Beta1 selective blocker given i.v used for intraoperative and postoperative HTN and emergency
Alpha blockers produce less reflex tachycardia when lowering blood pressure than do nomselective alpha antagonists such as phentolamine
Prazosin, doxazosin and terazosin
Vasodilator used to treat hypoglycemia secondary to insulinoma
Diazoxide
Arteriodilator used as a stimulant to hair growth for correction of baldness
Minoxdil
Vasodilator, dopamin D1R agonist, used for hypertensive emergencies and postoperative hypertension
Should be avoided in patients with glaucoma
Fenoldopam
