Kaplan Flashcards
What does the relatively high resting potential of the slow response fiber indicate?
They can fire AP by themselves
What ions are responsible for the AP of slow response fiber?
Slow Ca current and then delayed K current
How are Na/Ca/K channels and pacemaker current in slow response fiber affected with beta 1 receptor? what about M2?
Gs open Na/Ca channel and close K channel for AP/steepen pacemaker current/Gi does the opposite—>flatten the pacemaker current
What is the m and h gate of Na channel?
M is the activation gate
H is the inactivation gate—>responsible for refractory period
What do class Ia/b/c Na channel blockers block?
Ia—>block activated form of Na channel (both m and h gate are opened)
Ib—>block inactivated form (m open, h closes)—>prevent the channel from going back to be activated and firing
Ic—>block resting
Which class of Na channel is used for arrhythmic post MI?
Class Ib
Na is reabsorbed the most in what part of the nephron? and what follows it?
Proximal tubule/bicarb, Cl and water
What is the permeability of thin descending limb?
Water reabsorption w/o solutes reabsoption
Diuretics causes ___ and ___?
Hypokalemia and alkalosis
Osmotic diuretics work on what part of the nephron and mainly which part?
the entire tubule/mainly on proximal tubule
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitor increase ___ and ___ con. inside of the lumen?
Na and HCO3-
What symptoms carbonic anhydrase inhibitor treat regarding acute mountain sickness?
- Respiratory alkalosis caused by hyperventilation
2. Edema caused by increase hydrostatic pressure from hypoxic vasoconstriction
How does renal stone happens with carbonic anhydrase?
Increase urine pH
Loop diuretics causes hypo___?
hypo every single ions!
For treating HTN, loop diuretics vaso___ by increasing ___? what drug can cancel this effect?
vasodilate/increasing prostaglandin/NSAIDs
Why is sulfonamide common in drugs and what drugs have sulfur in them? (watch for allergic reactions)
Sulfur containing drugs are lipid soluble and binds to protein/all the sulf- and thio- drugs have sulfur in them—>as well as carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, loop diuretics except for ethacrynic acid
Weak acid diuretic drugs (thiazide) that is secreted in the proximal tubule competes with ___? which causes ___?
Urinate/hyperuricemia (contraindicates in pt with gout)
Thiazide causes hypo/hypercalcemia? that as a result treats ___?
Hypercalcemia/nephrolithiasis (Ca stone)
Thiazide causes ___ release and should be avoided with ___ pts?
Insulin resistance—>hyperglycemia/hyperlipidemia/diabetes mellitus pts
Turn borderline diabetics into full blown diabetics
Diuretics causes drop of __ and __? but eventually ___ returns to normal?
BP and CO/CO
Which is more potent, ACEI or ARB?
ACEI (due to inhibition of the breakdown of bradykinin)
Why do use ACEI for chronic kidney disease?
e.g. HTN causes kidney failure—>kill a lot of glomeruli—>the remaining glomeruli compensate and over work—>RAS is activated—>further kidney damage and more glomeruli die—>if block RAS with ACEI—>kidney function decrease but eventually plateau (prevent burnout)
With a drug that decrease symp tone to decrease BP, you would expect to see?
No reflex tachy/orthostatic HoTN/increase parasymp
Alpha 2 receptor is G_ coupled?
Gi
Alpha 2 agonist drugs for HTN would interact with what other drugs?
TCA
Reserpine causes severe?
Depression
Beta blocker would decrease ___ so it is contraindicated in pt with high ___?
Lipolysis—>increase lipid in blood/lipid
What are the 2 groups of HTN drugs that do not have reflex tachycardia?
Alpha 2 agonist/beta blockers
What are the 2 drugs for HTN in during pregnancy?
Methyldopa/hydralazine
Long term use of minoxidil induces?
Diabetes
Which one has stronger vasodilating effect, dihydropridine or non-dihydropyridine?
Dihydropyridine
What drugs causes gingival hyperplasia?
Dihydropyridine
ACEI/ARB causes hyper or hypokalemia?
Hyperkalemia (lack of aldosterone)
Use ACEI/ARB for pt with renal stenosis will induce?
Acute renal failure
What would class Ia anti arrhythmic drugs do to phase 0 and the AP?
Decrease the slope of phase 0/prolonged AP
