Q

ACE-I and ARB MOA:

A

ACE-I = block conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II by Angiotensin Converting Enzyme
ARB = aldosterone receptor blocker
-> decrease SVR, blood volume, SNS effects, cardiac and vascular hypertrophy, and bradykinin breakdown

Q

CCB’s MOA

A

verapamil, diltiazem: inhibit Ca++ entry in cardiac muscle -> decrease contractility and HR

Q

CCB use:

A

first line for HTN

prevention of variant angina

20
Q

CCB AE’s

A

cardiac depression: cardiac arrest, bradycardia, AV block, heart failure; more likely if given with a beta blocker
minor: flushing, dizziness, nausea, edema, constipation (esp. with verapamil)

21
Q

beta blockers MOA

A

metoprolol, atenolol: beta 1 selective blockade
carvedilol, labetalol: non-selective beta blockade and alpha 1 blocade
-> decrease contractility, HR by blocking SNS
-> decrease BP by inhibiting renin release via blocking receptors on juxtaglomerular cells

22
Q

alpha 1 blockers MOA

A

vasodilate

23
Q

alpha 2 agonists MOA

A

stimulate alpha 2 autoreceptors -> negative feedback and decreased NE release -> vasodilation
decreased PVR via stimulation in CNS vasomotor center
analgesia via stimulation of dorsal horn spinal cord receptors

24
Q

alpha 2 agonists agents

A

methyldopa, clonidine

25
Q

nitroprusside MOA and AEs

A

vasodilation via NO group

nausea, vomiting, muscle twitching, cyanide toxicity

26
Q

Hydralazine MOA

A

K+ channel agonist -> hyperpolarization and constriction blockage -> vasodilate

27
Q

hydralazine use

A

eclampsia (HTN emergency in pregnancy)

28
Q

hydralazine AE

A

tachycardia, flushing, HA, vomiting, angina, aggrevation

29
Q 
drugs to avoid in this condition:
gout
asthma
heart block
heart failure
hyperkalemia
pregnancy
A 
diuretic
beta blocker
beta blocker, CCB
CCB
ACE-I, ARB
ACE-I, ARB
30
Q

digitalis (digoxin, cardiac glycosides) MOA

A

inhibit Na/K ATPase -> decreased Na/Ca exchange -> Ca buildup and increased contractility and HR

31
Q

digoxin use

A 
increased contractility (CHF)
arrhythmias due to low HR and slow AV nodal conduction
32
Q

cardiac glycoside t1/2

A

40 hours - give every 24-48 hours

33
Q

digoxin AE’s

A

nausea, vomiting, bradycardia, AV block and other arrhythmias
cardiac AE’s increase with hypokalemia
antidote: Digoxin Immune FAB (digiband)

34
Q

PDE-3 inhibitors MOA

A

inhibit phosphodiesterase-3 which degrades cAMP -> increase cAMP levels -> increase contractility and vasodilation

35
Q

PDE-3 agents

A

milrinone, inamrinone

36
Q

PDE-3 administration

A

constant IV infusion

37
Q

lusitropy

A

beta 1 agonist effect

increased diastolic relaxation so that EDV can be maintained even as HR increases

38
Q

spironolactone MOA

A

aldosterone antagonist

39
Q 
effects on FS curve of:
oral nitrates, loop diuretics
ACE / ARB
fluids (saline)
digoxin
A

shift leftward along same curve (decrease LV filling pressure for a given SV curve)
shift leftward and upward to a new curve (decrease LV filling pressure and increase SV)
shift rightward along the same curve (increase SV and LV filling pressure)
shift upward to a new curve (increase SV for a given LV filling pressure)

40
Q

nitrates agents

A

nitroglycerin, isosorbide mononitrate (dinitrate)

41
Q

nitrate MOA

A

activation of guanylyl cyclase -> increased cGMP -> dephosphorylation of myosin light chain -> venodilation

42
Q

nitrate use:

A

acute angina symptoms

43
Q

nitrate AE’s

A

orthostatic hypotension, tachycardia, HA, tolerance

44
Q

nitrate contraindications

A

AV block or ventricular block

47
Q

ACE / ARB contraindications
