39
Q

Side effects of minoxidil:

A

hirsutism

40
Q

How does minoxidil affect BP?

A

opens K-ATP channels, which causes relaxation of arteriolar smooth muscle
**dilates arterioles NOT veins

41
Q

Effects of nitroprusside:

A

forms NO, causing vasodil (arteries/veins)
Decreases TPR
Decreases CO in normal

42
Q

Side effects of nitroprusside:

A
  1. excessive hypotension
  2. palpitations/tachycardia
  3. metabolized to cyanide (cyanate/thiocyanate toxicity: give small dose for small period)
43
Q

Nitroprusside is used to treat:

A

HTN emergencies in patients with ventricular failure

**why does this seem to contradict??

44
Q

clonidine acts on what receptors?

A

postsynaptic alpha-2A adrenoreceptors in the rostral ventrolateral medulla

(decreases symp impulses from RVLM to heart and vessels)

45
Q

Effects of clonidine

A

decrease peripheral vasc resistance

decrease HR

46
Q

Because it releases endogenous opiates, this drug is used as an analgesic in neuropathic pain

65
Q

How do dihydropyridine CCB’s treat angina?

A

reduces oxygen demand by reducing afterload

A

bradycardia
asystole
AV block
constipation

DO NOT USE IN CHF

68
Q

How do beta blockers treat angina?

A
  1. decrease HR and contractility in response to exercise

2. decreases afterload

heparin

71
Q

BB are useless in what type of angina?

A

vasospastic

72
