Q
CAAT
A
Ca blockers
ace inhibitors
angiotensin receptor blockers
thiazide diuretics
4
Q
BALD
A
Beta Blockers
Aldosterone Antagonist
Loop diuretics
Direct vasodilators
5
Q
Ca blockers
- acts on
- purpose
- mechanism of action
- side effects
A
- smooth muscle and cardiac muscle
- decrease contractility and force, reduce after load, causes vasodilation
- blocks Ca reentry
- hypotension, dizziness, nausea, reflex tachycardia
6
Q
Ace inhibitor
- acts on
- purpose
- mechanism of action
- side effects
A
- peripheral vasculature and involved organs
- prevents vasoconstriction, reduces fluid volume
- inhibits ACE conversion, reduces ADH, reduces, aldosterone
- angioedema, cough, hypotension
7
Q
Angiotensin Receptor blockers
- acts on
- purpose
- mechanism of action
- side effects
A
-
- causes vasodilation, reduces fluid volume
-inhibits Angiotensin II, reduces ADH, reduces aldosterone
-
8
Q
Thiazide diuretics
A
inhibition of Na/Cl reuptake
9
Q
Beta blockers
- acts on
- purpose
- mechanism of action
- side effects
A
- SNS, Inhibits SA node
- Decreases HR and vasodilation
- fatigue, cold hands, headache
10
Q
Aldosterone Antagonist
- acts on
- purpose
- mechanism of action
- side effects
A
inhibits aldosterone, excretes Na and H20, retains K
11
Q
Loop Diuretics
- acts on
- purpose
- mechanism of action
- side effects
A
inhibits Na, K, Ca, Mg reabsorption
- reduces volume
12
Q
Direct vasodilators
A
peripheral vasodilation
