Q
ACE inhibitors MoA
A
end with “pril’, act on the renin angiotensin system by preventing the conversion of angiotensin I into angiotensin II
2
Q
angiotensin II antagonists
A
end with ‘sartan”, similar to those of the Ace inhibitors however they trigger a decrease in SVR and inhibit aldosterone release
3
Q
beta bockers
A
end in ‘lol’, receptor blockage prevents angiotensin II formation and associated aldosterone secretion, resulting in decrease in SVR. can also cause a decrease in the sympathy drive
4
