A
  • Inhibit conversion of angiotensin I into II
  • Reduce release of aldosterone (aldosterone causes fluid and water retention – stimulates reabsorption of salt and water in the kidneys)
  • aid in arterial and left ventricular remodelling

mediates inflammation by increasing vascular permeability

26
Q

what are ACEi side effects?

orthostatic hypotension
dry cough
GI distress
acute kidney injury

27
Q

Q

what are rare ACEi side effects?

A

angioedema - swelling of deeper tissues
swelling out mouth, lips, throat

29
Q

what is conditions should you not take with ACEi

A

Q

what does effect does cCCB have?

A

peripheral vasodilation
coronary vasodilation
reduced rate and force of contractibility

36
Q

what are the two classes of CCB drugs?

A

dihydropyridines and non -dihydropyridines

37
Q

what do dihydropyridines do?

A

predominantly affect vascular smooth muscle causing vasodilation

38
Q

name some dihydropyridine drugs (CCB)

A

nifedipine, amlodipine, felodipine (FAN)

39
Q

what does non-dihydropyridines do?

A

slow heart rate down and affect myocardial tissue

40
Q

name some examples of non-dihydropyridines (CCB)

A

verapamil, diltiazem

41
Q

what are the side effects of CCB drugs?

A

ankle swelling
flushing
dizziness - tend to disappear in a few days
constipation
bradycardia

42
Q

what are the functions of thiazide type diuretics?

A

inhibit sodium and water reabsorption

43
Q

name some examples of thiazide type diuretics

44
Q

what are the side effects of thiazide like diuretics

A

dizziness
GI disturbances
need to pass urine more often

Q

what is the function of beta blockers?

A

act on heart to reduce CO - competes with noradrenaline
act on kidney to reduce renin secretion

46
Q

name some examples of beta blockers

A

atenolol
carvedilol
metoprolol

bronchospasms likely

what is first line of drugs to over 55, african- origin

A

CCB

50

Q

what if ARB/ ACEi + CCB + thiazide like diuretics are not managing BP

A

specialist advice
add spironolactone, B blocker, a blocker

53
Q

what is an early warning sign of HP in males?

A

erectile dysfunction

54

b blockers

56
Q

if a patient has diabetes or gout which medication should they not have to treat HP?

A

thiazide like diuretics

57

Q

Name an example of a statin

A

atrovastatin

59
