Pharmacology Flashcards
B1 receptors act on
heart cells
B2 receptors act on
smooth muscle (bronchial cells)
A1 receptors act on
organs
Anti anginals do their job 2 ways
decrease O2 demand and increase O2 supply
What 2 types of drugs (that are used for anti anginal) do their job by way of decreasing O2 demand
BB, nitrates
what 2 types of drugs (that are used for anti anginal) do their job by way of increasing O2 supply
CCB, anti coags
4 main types of drugs used for CHF
diuretics, sympathos, ACE inhibitors, BB
a sympathetic antagonist works how
prevents neurotransmitters (norep and ep) from binding
_______olol
beta blockers
BB are used for what
angina
arrythmia
post MI
The 2 selective BB
AM (atenolol and metoprolol)
What does selective mean
only works with B1 (heart) receptors
the 2 non selective BB
N…..olol, P…..olol
Betablockers work how
decrease HR, decrease O2 demand
What to use for intensity or limiting factor with pts on BBs
nothing related to HR
How do nitrates work
vasodilate and decrease workload of heart
Nitrates especially work on the
venous side- preload
PT imiplications for nitrates
report ANY differences in their angina and watch thermo modalities as increased venous pooling can occur
Isodril is a
nitrate
Nitro_____
Nitrate (anti anginal)
Nifedipine
CCB (selective)
How do CCB work
dilates coronary arteries blocking Ca and slows conduction
CCB are used for what 2 main things
anti arrythmic, anti anginal
CCB PT implications
monitor for HR, diziness or any changes
Furosemide
another name for Lasix (Diuretic)
Diuretics are used for what 2 main things
CHF, HTN
spironolactone
name of a diuretic
Thiazides
diuretics
PT implications diuretics
K wasting ones (lose K = arrythmias)
Vasodilators are used for
CHF HTN
These type of vasodilators act directly on the local arteries (local controls)
non adrenergic
Hydralazine
non adrenergic vasodilator
