Q

when Renin goes up it increases BP. In our blood pressure management we have water retention and increased salt so we try to stop this process

A

RAAS System - juxtaglomeruluar cells cause renin release, maculodensal cells monitor sodium and cause salt and water retention

Q

Water pills (like hydrochlorthiazide) cause hyponatremia and hypokalemia and ** hypercalcemia - makes you thrombogenic and more likely to form a clot - why does this matter with thiazides?

A

if I have high cholesterol the water pill is going to INCREASE my lipids and the potential that I form a dangerous clot

Q

Angina - constriction of the heart or CHEST DISCOMFORT - Stable vs unstable?

PM angina?

A

unstable is either first time with chest pain, chest pain different than baseline, or past chest pain that doesn’t go away at rest… unstable we treat like STEMI…

Stable angina is no change in baseline…

Printz Metal Angina is like a spasm that happens in the PM between 0000 and 0500 ish and they have normal vessels when they go to the catch lab… associated with Reynauds and treated with a CCB.. unlike STABLE OR UNSTABLE Angina where CCB is the last resort for treatment because they effect the pump (preload and afterload also) lots of side effects

Q

Heart failure - the pump is either not contracting appropriately (preserved ejection fraction AKA diastolic)… or reduced ejection fraction (Systolic) which implies the heart doesn’t have enough pump (MI or disease). ____ (this drug) KEY IN BOTH (BUT more in preserved to keep potassium in the heart)

A

SPIRONOLACTone

Q

PT is on the following: Hydrochlorizide (water pill) terazosin (alpha blocker) aspirin, Diltiazem (CCB non DHP), losartan (ARB), also suffering from bradycardia - THE DRUG MOST LIKELY TO CAUSE BRADYCARDIA?

A

CCB most likely to cause bradycardia so Diltiazem - REMEMBER THAT CCB’s work at the AV NODE - IF IT EFFECTS AV OR SA NODE WRITE IT OUT***WHICH ONES WHERE BECAUSE THAT IS A LOT OF THE EXAM!!!

BUN is elevated? Liver damage

Creatinine is HIGH*** Kidney failure

—-if you do a Chem 7 it shows up with CREATINE and BUN - males should have higher creatinine

Q

69 y/o AA in stage 3 with NYHC level 3 (issues at rest) reduced ejection fraction failure - 39%, currently taking ACE-I with BB, with daily dose of loop diuretic - ejection fraction continues to drop - which of the following would you add to decrease morbidity?

A

ANSWER = combination of two drugs to treat BIDIL = hydralizine +isosorbide dinitrate… any patient with ACE-I and BB with reduced ejection fraction need to add something else to get this goal.. if you’re adding something else it is most likely BIDIL and in this case hydralizine + isosorbide dintrate (BIDIL)
—— other options were adding stuff that he’s already on

75
Q

Ramopril - 138/88 atherosclerotic 10 year is 13% w/o any other comorbidities - start him on?

water pill and if that’s not available go to CCB like amlyodpine and ACEI

76
Q

Why don’t we add CCB’s with BB’s?

A

DON’t ADD CCB’s with BB’s - this causes heart block and possibly failure

77
Q

Patient with bradycardia - hydrolchlorothiazide, verapmil and metoprolol… why do they have a heart block?

A

verapmil and metoprolol together cause the block (CCB with Beta Blocker)

78
Q

Ejection % less than 39 % - ACEI and BB’s, which ACEI will decrease morbidity more below: Losartan, amlodipine, nitro, intresto, carvedilol, -

A

CCBs and Thiazides

89
Q

AA’s with HF who are already on ACEI, BIDIL and hydralizine and spironalactone… what are they missing? w

A

ill put them on a BB - carvedilol is the alpha and beta blocker - always the answer

90
Q

AA’s with HF you treat just like everyone else - on stage A you would stay with

A

CCB and thiazide, after structural deficiency then we switch to ACEI or ARB etc

91
Q

Ethanacrinic acid (edericin) - best for

A

non sulfa

LONGEST ANSWER - if you don’t know on a test go with the longest answer

92
Q

QT lengthening - dronedarone (Maltagg) if the pt has a QT interval greater than 500 we don’t want to use it, BECAUSE…..

A

the QT interval or going from Q to the T will lengthen further

93
Q

PT with ramopril - check their potassium and about 2 -4 weeks post (serum creatinine and potassium so you can check GFR) ** any time starting patient on ACEI or ARB and CrCl is low ***

A

cool

94

Q

Pt with angina, stable, COPD - can use

A

Q

HTN Emergency - getting nitroglycerin** - how do we lower?

A

MAP 25% if no main 3 issues - if the do have aortic dissection lower to 120 systolic in 1st hour, but if preeclampsia or phechromocytoma down to 140 systolic int eh 1st hour - go for the one that’s in the middle of the range - rarely extreme high or low

103
Q

Pt is taking macrolide and you add another med for heart failure - what are you concerned about for causing Torsades?

A

Prolonged QT - decrease pottassium, decrease calcium, and decrease magnesium which together prolong QT - causes of prolonged QT = PMC, Potassium Magnesium Calcium

104
Q

ADHF - warm to touch - already on carvidol, enalopril - could add

A

NITRO and Torsemide together

105
