Sweatman Beta Blockers Flashcards
Name the Beta Blockers
Propanolol
–>all others end in -LOL…not gonna type them
Beta blocker sites of action
Heart directly
Juxtaglomerular apparatus in the kidney–>inhibiting renin release
Beta 1 and 2 receptors in the heart physiologically work to
accelerate SA node
accelerate ectopic pacemakers
increase contractility
Beta blockers in the heart have their effects by
preventing SA node and ectopic pacemaker acceleration
decreasing contractility of the myocardium
physiologic activation of blood vessel smooth muscle in skeletal muscle works by
acting on beta 2 receptors to vasodilate (relax vascular smooth muscle)
beta relax–>epi
alpha constrict–>norepi
how is renin released
there are beta 1 receptors on the JGA cells–> in the presence of beta 1 agonsits–> they release renin
*therefore beta blokers inhibit renin release
pretratment by a beta blocking agent doe not affect
rise in BP produced by NE
BP increases due to NE are primary
alpha adrenergic stimulation
*beta blocker has no effect on this–>no change in increase in blood ressure with pre tx of beta blocker and NE
effects of epinephrine in the context of beta blockers
no effect
effects of E in context of alpha blockers
decreased blood pressure
effects of Isoproterenol in presence of beta blockers–>
almost completeley diminished
*beta 2 blockage–> prevents skeletal muscle vasodilation–>therfore there is no reduciton in BP
beta 1 specificity
