Lecture 6 Flashcards
Part of the kidney acted on by Thiazides
Distal convoluted tubule
Part of kidney affected by acetazolamide- HCO3-
Prozimal convoluted tubule
Part of the kidney affectd by Bumetanide, furosemide, torsemide, ethacrynic acid
Ascending loop of henle
Part of kidney affected by spironolactone, amiloride, triamterene
collecting duct
Weak diuretics decreasing sodium and water, widely used and very effective, usually in combo, SE hyperglycemia - caution in DIABETES
Thiazides
Drug paired with Thiazides because of its ability to spare Potassium K+
Spironolactone
Strong Loop diuretic prefered in patients with renal failure
Furosemide
Category that treats HTN by decreasing peripheral resistance, usual choice in diabetics, Persistent cough, hyperkalemia
ACE Inhibitors
Category that treats HTN by decreasing peripheral resistance but does not cause persistent cough
ARBs
HTN category, selective (asthma and COPD, or diabetes) and non selective, can cause sexual dysfunction, used in patients with history of MI or heart disease, renal disease, CAUTION in patients with heart failure and diabetic
Beta blockers
Category of HTN drugs, more affects than beta blockers but do not affects pancreas, safe for prinzmental angina
Calcium channel blockers
Diphenylalkylamine Ca Channel blocker, choice for prinzmental angina, dual action, not good for CHF
Verapamil
Can you use Ca channel blockers with Beta blockers?
yes if there is no ischemic heart disease
(3) Alpha adrenergic blocking agents, produce relaxation of arterial venus smooth muscle, used WITH BETA BLOCKERS to avoid REFLEX TACHYCARDIA, -osin
Prazosin, Oxazosin, Terazosin
Centrally acting agent used in combo with diuretic, SE xerostomia and sedation
Cloniodine
Centrally acting agent alpha adrenergic agonist SE drowsiness and sedation
Methyldopa
210/ 150 mmHg, or presence of Encephalopathy, cerebral hemorrhage, left ventricular failure, aortic stenosis, goal is to decrease BP QUICKLY
Hypertensive Emergency
Potent vasodilator for emergency HTN by IV, metabolized to cyanide, combines with sodium thiosulfate producing thiocyanate, usually first choice in emergency
Sodium Nitroprusside
HTN emergency drug, direct acting arteriolar vasodilator, useful in hypertensive encephalopathy and ECLAMPSIA, used in combo with beta blocker to decrease reflex tachycardia
Diazoxide
HTN emergency drug that is an Alpha AND Beta blocker, doesnt cause reflex tachy cardio but beta actions are non selective, used in less extreme cases
Labetolol
HTN emergency drug that is a peripheral dopamine 1 receptor inhibitor, used IV which maintains renal perfusion while lowering BP, CI in GLAUCOMA
Fenlodopan
HTN emergency drug, Ca channel blocker used IV
Nicardipine
Clinical condition in which the heart is unable to perform its work as a pump failing to meet the requirements of the body, usually referring to left ventricle function
CHF
Etiology of CHF that is most common
Low output failure- dilated cardiomyopathy- Left ventricle systolic dysfunction
atherosclerosis, HTN, valve problem, dilated cardiomyopathy, congenital heart diseases cause what disease?
underlying causes of CHF
CONCEPT: Cardiac output decreases, leading to decreased blood pressure, leading to decreased renal blood flow, increasing renin, increase aldosterone, increase edema, increased capillary filtration, ultimately causing increased venous pressure
What happens when the heart needs to maintain perfusion in CHF, compensatory response - Vasodilators fix the last step, ultimate goal is to increase cardiac output
