25
Q

pril is what type of drug?

A

ACE inhibitor

26
Q

An angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor is a pharmaceutical drug used primarily for the treatment of hypertension and congestive heart failure

A

ACE inhibitor

27
Q

Step 1: Blood has cicrulationg through the body, lost its oxygen and collected CO2, where does it enter?

A
  • Right Atrium of the heart through the Vena Cava
28
Q

Step 2: Right Atrium Contracts and pumps blood through which valves?

A

Tricuspid valve and right ventricle

29
Q

Step 3 of 9: The Right Ventricle pumps blood where?

A
  • Through the pulmonary artery into the lungs
30
Q

Step 4: What do the tiny blood vessels (capillaries) in the lungs do?

A

absorb CO2 from blood and replace it with oxygen

31
Q

Step 5: oxygenated blood flows through the pulmonary vein and into where?

A
  • Left Atrium
32
Q

Step 6: Oxygenated blood pumps throu the mitral valve and into where?

A

Left Ventricle

33
Q

Once the blood has gone through the aortic arch, what are the option for where blood can be pumped?

A
  • thru carotid artery into the brain
  • auxiliary arteries into the arms
  • aorta and into the torso/legs
34
Q

Step 8: Blood moves through the arteries, then through capillaries, where does it return?

A

Veins

35
Q

Step 9: What is the last step of the cardiac cycle?

A

Deoxygenated blood will return to the heart

36
Q

Treatment of Angina

37
Q

Antidote for Heparine is?

A

protamine Sulfate

38
Q

47
Q

Major adverse effect of Statins

A

Liver dysfunction, Category X

48
Q

How do beta blockers work?

A
  • slowing down the heart rate and the force at which it contracts
  • They are ingested
49
Q

How do calcium channel blockers work?

A
  • Ingested
  • slow down heart rate & force at which it contracts
  • Decrease pressure on the circulation, by relaxing the blood vessels
  • Allows blood to flow more smoothly

  • may lead to neutropenia. Monitor the CBC with differential prior to therapy, every 2wks for first 3 mnths and up to 1 yr.
  • for high BP and heart failure
  • may cause cough, hyperkalemia and angioedema
55
Q

Nitropursside (Nitropress)

A
  • Avoid Grapefruit Juice increases level and effect
  • antiangina, antihypertensive, antiarrhythmics
  • monitor I/O, daily weight
  • cause edema, weight gain.
  • may cause steven johnson syndrome
57
Q

Nitroglycerin

A
  • antiangina
  • increases blood flow by dilating coronary arteries
  • vasodilation, venous greater than arterial
  • decreases preload
  • reduced myocardial oxygen consumption
  • half life 1-4 minutes
  • Used w/ Sildenafil, Tadalafil and Vardenafil will lead to potentially fatal hypotension
