vasodilators
Verapamil
Diltiazem
non-dihydropyridines
block initial Ca influx (voltage-dependent l-type ca channels) –> Dec contractility
AE - Negative chronotropic - Dec HR, Dec BP (severe in pts on B-blocker)
constipation
nitroprusside AE
cyanide toxicity
Cyanide toxicity tx
sodium nitrate - methemoglobin
sodium thiosulfate - sulfur donor
hydroxocobalamin - bind cobalt
isosorbide dinitrate
oral
high first pass metabolism - need higher dose
Nitrate tolerance tx
Nitrate Free period
avoid tolerance
Nitrate AE
lightheadness, hypotension, flushing, HA throbbing
STATIN - MOA
HMG-COa reductase inhibitors
Dec hepatic cholesterol synthesis
by INC hepatocyte LDL receptor recycling to INC LDL clearance
STATIN - AE
HMG-COa reductase inhibitors
hepatotoxic (check LFTs)
myopathy, myalgias
INC CK - myonecrosis
Fribrates
Gemfibrozil, -Fibrate
DEC TRIGLYCERIDES
up regulate LPL
activates PPAR-a –> DEC hepatic VLDL production
AE: myopathy, cholesterol gallstones
(INHIBIT cholesterol 7-a-hydroxylase; dec bile acid production –> cholesterol precipitate)
Digoxin
MOA - Inhibit Na/K pump: DEC Na efflux –> Dec Ca efflux
slow AV conduction (Inc parasympathetic tone), but atrial flutter
HF tx
AE - YELLOW vision, nausea, vomit, flushing, diaphoresis (cholinergic)
