ischemic heart disease Flashcards
cardioselective BB
Atenolol, Metoprolol, Nebivolol
non cardioselective BB
Carvedilol, Propranolol
cardioselective receptor
β1
Bisoprolol target
Beta adrenoceptors
Bisoprolol moa
Inhibits binding of normal ligand noradrenaline released from sympathetic adrenergic neurones. This inhibits activation of adenylyl cyclase enzymes leading to reduced cyclic AMP. This in turn leads to reduced intracellular calcium levels.
Bisoprolol common side effects
Dizziness; Headache, fatigue, cold hands, impotence
Bisoprolol important side effects
Hypotension Bronchoconstriction Bradycardia and heart block Hypoglycaemia Peripheral vasoconstriction
Bisoprolol and Peripheral vasoconstriction issue
intermittent claudication and Raynaud’s phenomenon
Calcium channel blockers
Amlodipine
Diltiazem
Verapamil
amlodipine drug class
Dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers
amlodipine target
L-type calcium channels
amlodipine moa
Inhibit influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle cells through L-type calcium channels
amlodipine affect overall
ecreased arterial smooth muscle contratility leading to vasodilatation
amlodipine common side effects
Flushing; Headache; Tachycardia; Peripheral oedema
amlodipine bad side effects
Heart failure in patients with poor left ventricular function
diltiazem target
L-type calcium channels
diltiazem drug class
Rate-limiting calcium channel blocker
diltiazem action
Inhibit influx of calcium ions into cardiomyocytes through L-type calcium channels
diltiazem common side effects
Headache Flushing Tachycardia Peripheral oedema Constipation
diltiazem bad side effect
Sino-atrial and AV block
verapamil drug class
Class IV anti-arrhythmia agent CCB
verapamil inhibits
voltage-dependent calcium channels
GTN target
Nitrate membrane receptor
GTN moa
Inhibits the entry of calcium ions into the cell leading to reduced intracellular calcium levels
GTN effect
Vascular smooth muscle relaxation and vasodilatation
bad thing about long term GTN
tolerance
what are nitrites metabolised to
NO
