Test 2 Flashcards
Seconday HTN
Specific etiology Less common (10%)
Primary HTN
Nurture and nature
Idiopathic
Most common form (90%)
First line treatment for HTN
Diuretics
Number one use limiting side effect of ACE inhibitors
Intense dry cough
Major side effect of alpha2 agonists
Sedation
Common uses for diuretics
CHF
Hepatic Ascites
Nephrotic syndrome
HTN
4 diuretic categories
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
Loop diuretics
Thiazides
Potassium sparing diuretics
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors affect on urine
Increased Na
Increased K
Increased Bicarb
Increased volume
Most efficacious of all diuretics
Loop diuretics
Loop diuretics affect on urine
Increase Na
Increase K
Increase Ca
Increase volume
1 choice for emergency edema
Loop diuretics
3 perfusion uses of loop diuretics
Get rid of extra fluid on bypass
Get rid of excess
Maintain urine production
Affect of Thiazide diuretics on urine
Increased Na
Increased K
Decreased Ca
Increased volume
Benefit of thiazides
Promote Ca reabsorption
Significant less decrease in bone density
Affect of K sparing diuretics on urine
Increased Na
Decreased K
Increased volume
Diuretic of choice for liver failure with edema
Spironolactone
1 rule when giving mannitol
Check bag for precipitated crystals
5 types of angina
Classic/stable/effort-induced Unstable Variant/rest/vasospastic/prinzmetal Acute coronary syndrome Mixed
If patient doesn’t respond to methemoglobinemia treatment, they are lacking what enzyme?
Glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase
Calcium channel blockers in order from most cardiac effects to least
Verapamil>Diltiazem>Nifedipine
Utilized extensively to prevent radial artery spasm and maintain patency
Diltiazem
Systolic heart failure
Decreased contractility and EF
Thin walls
“Younger” patients
Diastolic heart failure
Decreased filling and cardiac output
Older patients
5 main HF Causes
Ischemia (70%) Idiopathic Viral Immune-mediated HTN
6 classes of QALY improving drugs
Positive inotropes Diuretics Renin/angiotensin blockers Primary vasodilators Beta blockers Aldosterone antagonists
3 positive inotropes
Cardiac glycosides
Catecholamines
Bipyridines
Preferred drug for cardiac arrest
Epinephrine
Standard of care to give after AMIs
ACE Inhibitor
