Pharm Part 1 Flashcards
Verapamil
- Calcium channel blocker
- arrhythmia, for supraventricular tachyarrhythmias and paroxysmal tachycardia and atrial fibrillation
- Chronic stable angina stemming from AV node
Quinidine (Type 1A drugs)
arrhythmia, increases refractory period of cardiac muscle, for supraventricular tachyarrhythmias and atrial fibrillation
Phenytoin (Dilatin)
- arrhythmia, to reverse digitalis induced arrhythmias
- anti-epileptic
Lidocaine (Type 1B drugs)
- arrhythmia, decrease cardiac excitability, shortening action potention, for ventricular arrhythmias
Verapamil (angina)
angina, Ca2+ channel blocker, decrease oxygen demand by reducing afterload by reducing peripheral resistance via vasodilation
Propranolol (angina)
angina, reduces oxygen demand by preventing chronotropic responses to endogenous epinephrine
Nitroglycerin
angina, increases oxygen supply to heart by direct vasodilatory action on smooth muscle in coronary arteries
Captopril, lisinopril
HTN, ACE inhibitors
Spironolactone
HTN, diuretic, potassium sparing; antagonist for aldosterone in Collecting Tubes
Ethacrynic acid
HTN, loop or high ceiling diuretic, is associated with deafness/ototoxicity
Furosemide
HTN, diuretic, high-ceiling or loop acting; can cause deafness
Chlorothiazide
HTN, diuretic, thiazide, when administered with digitalis, will increase penetration of digitalis into myocardium
- most widely used
- Inhibits Na+ resorption causing excretion of Na+, K+ and water
What are the three thiazides
dyazide
metolazone
indapamide
Hydralazine
HTN, directly acts to vasodilate vascular smooth muscle
Metoprolol
HTN, selective beta1 blocker, reduced CO and BP
Propranolol (HTN)
HTN, nonselective beta blocker reducing CO, inhibits renin secretion from juxtaglomerular cells
Clonidine
HTN, stimulates alpha2 receptors in CNS, reduces sympathetic outflow to peripheral vessels resulting in VD
- decrease HR, decrease CO and TPR
Methyldopa
HTN, acts centrally as a false NT to stimulate alpha 2 receptors to reduce SNS outflow, resulting in VD
- best for renal damage patients
Prazosin
HTN, alpha1 blocker, inhibits NE binding –> VD
Digitalis
glycoside for arrhythmia, decreases rate of AV conduction, for atrial fibrillation and paroxysmal tachycardia
- alters Ca+ movement, increase in force of contraction of myocardial tissue (inotropic effect)
- inhibits Na+, K+ ATPase leading to calium influx, decrease HR
- Thiazides increase toxicity
Propranolol (arrhythmia)
arrhythmia, for paroxysmal tachycardia
Glycosides
CHF, ex: digitalis and digoxin, have positive inotropic effect, increasing force of contraction of myocardium by inhibiting Na+/K+ ATPase and thus increasing Ca2+ influx, reduces compensatory changes associated with CHF like heart size, rate, edema
Captopril
CHF and HTN, ACE inhibitor, blocks the enzyme that converts angiotensin I into angiotensin II
- angiotensin II causes casoconstriction and increase BP
guanethidine
- Enters the nerve and concentrated in transmitter vesicles, where it replaces norepinephrine
- reserved for severe hypertension
