Q

RAAS

A

Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System
1. Receptors recognize pressure change in vessels which stimulates kidneys to release renin into the bloodstream ( whenever BP is low)
2. Liver makes angiotensinogen which reacts with renin
3. This forms angiotensin I
4.Angiotensin 1 to Angiotensin II occurs in the lungs
5. Angiotensin II makes blood vessels small in diameter increasing BP (vasoconstrictor)
6. Angiotensin II to Angiotensin III releasing aldosterone
7. Aldosterone - BV increases and BP increases
Once optimal BP is reaches the kidneys will stop producing renin

Q

Arbs Action

A

Allow angiotensin I to be converted to angiotensin II, but block the receptors that receive angiotensin II
Blocks vasoconstriction and release of aldosterone which lowers BP

Check pulse, hold rate < 60, don’t stop abruptly

24
Q

Beta Blocker EValuate

A

BP HR

25
Q

Calcium Channel Blockers Use

A

HTN,angina,tachyarrhythmias

26
Q

Calcium Channel Blockers Drugs

A

Verapamil, Nifedipine, Dilitazem

27
Q

Calcium Channel Blockers Action

A

dilates peripheral arteries by relaxing vascular smooth muscle

28
Q

Ca Channel Blockers Teach

A

Do not drink grapefruit juice because it will increase the concentration of the calcium channel blockers

29
Q

Contraindications of Ca channel blockers

A

Hypersensitivity

30
Q

Alpha Adrenergic Receptor Blockers (Alpha Arbs)
Use

A

Mild to moderate HTN, increases urinary flow rates

31
Q

Alpha Adrenergic Receptor Blockers (Alpha Arbs)
Action

A

blocks alpha1 receptors in arterial smooth-muscle vasculature & decreases BP which is also found in the neck of the bladder

32
