Q

why should propranolol be used with caution in diabetics

Q

Beta blockers and hyperthyroidism

A

chance of thyroid storm increases during surgical removal of theyroid so betablockers beore surgery is desirable

28
Q

CHF and beta blockers

A

dec sympathetic discharge and NE release dec CHF mortality

29
Q

hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and betablockers

A

dec syncope, arrhythmias, and sudden death

30
Q

Marfan syndrome and aneurysms and betablockers

A

alone or combined with ACEI/ARB dec aneurismal dialation by dec TGFbeta activity

31
Q

beta blocker adverse CVS effects

A

bradycardia, AV block, abrupt discontinuation of propranolol can precipitate angina, arrhythmia, and hypertension —should be withdrwan gradually after long term use

32
Q

beta blockers adverse respiratory effects

A

causes bronchoconstriction, should not be used in asthmatic and COPD patients

33
Q

beta blockers adverse metabolic effects

A

fasting hypoglycemia, increases blood lipid levels (LDLs and TGs)

34
Q

beta blockers and other adverse effects

A

sexual dysfunction, fatigue and exercise intolerance

35
Q

betablockers are contraindicated in

A

asthmatics, COPD, diabetics, Raynaud’s disease, Prinzmetal angina

36
Q

beta blockers with Digitalis and verapamil

A

additive depression of SA and AV node –> cardiac arrest

37
Q

beta blockers and insuline/oral hypoglycemics

A

aggravate hypglycemic effects, mask warning signes (tremor and tachycardia)

38
Q

betablockers and indomethacin and other NSAIDs

A

annul antihypertensive actions of betablockers

39
Q

betablockers and cimetidine

A

inhibits metabolism of Propranolol

40
Q

Timolol

A

potent nonselective betablocker, reduces the production of aqueous humor in the eye and hence used topically for the treatment of chronic open-angle glaucoma

41
Q

nadolol

A

very long duration, same actions as propranolol (nonselective)

42
Q

selective beta 1 antagonists

A

acebutolol, atenolol, esmolol, metoprolol

43
Q

selective beta 1 antagonists can be used

A

in hypertensive patients with asthma and COPD bc they do not cause bronchoconstriction at therapeutic doses

44
Q

selective beta 1 antagonists actions

A

decrease BP in hypertensive pts, inc exercise tolerance in angina, no bronchoconstriction effect, no effect on PR, no effect on CHO metabolism

45
Q

A

HTN (esp if they have pulm dysfuntion or diabetes), Angina, MI

46
Q

beta1 blocker adverse effects

A

bradycardia

47
Q

48
Q

Atenolol properties

A

lower lipid solubility, less CNS entry, excreted unchanged in the urine

49
Q

pindolol, acebutolol

61
Q

beta1 blockers with ISA cause

A

less bradycardia (beta1) and slight vasodialation or bronchodialation (beta2), act partial agonists

62
Q

beta 1 blockers with ISA uses

A

HTN with moderate bradycardia in DM , CHO metabolism is less affected

63
