Things I cant remember questions Exam 2 Flashcards
Which drug do we not use longer than 72 hours?
nitroprusside (Nitropress)
Causes direct relaxation of arteriole smooth muscle
hydralazine (Apresoline)
A = arteriole = hydrAlAzine
Causes venous and arteriolar dilation
nitroprusside (Nitropress)
drug of choice for HTN emergency
nitroprusside (Nitropress)
drug causes toxic accumulation of thiocyanate
nitroprusside (Nitropress)
drug to give if someone has reflex tachycardia
BB
Direct vasodilators for HTN vs Direct Vasodilators for HF
HTN:
- nitroprusside (Nitropress)
- hydralazine (Apresoline)
HF:
-isosorbide dinitrate (Isordil) and hydralazine
____________________________________
Broken heart = ISOlated
HTN = drugs H and N
RAAS for HF vs RAAS for HTN
HF:
- Ace Inhibitor
- Aldosterone Receptor Blocker
- ARB
- ARNI- sacubitril/valsartan (Ernesto)
HTN:
- ACE Inhibitor
- Aldosterone Receptor Blocker
- ARB
- Direct Renin Inhibitor -aliskiren (Tekturna)
You have to be off an ACE inihibotr for 36 hours before starting this drug
ARNI-sacubitril/valsartan (Entresto)
How does HCN channel fx and whats the prototype? what does it treat?
ivabradine
FXN: slows HR by inhibiting channels in the SA Node (decrease conduction)
HF
compare ARB fxn to Ace inhibitor fxn
ARB: blocks receptors for AT2
ACE inhibitor: stops AT 1 turning into AT 2
Which RAAS drug blocs the entire RAAs system
direct renin inhibitor aliskiren (Tekturna)
How does an ace inhibitor slow progression of kidney disease?
Decrease Angiotensin II –> vasodilation of the efferent arteriole –> pressure in glomerulus fall–> slows the progression to chronic kidney disease
Angioedema and dry cough- which class of drugs and which one does you the most dirty?
RAAS
-Ace inhibitor
Who is centrally acting- alpha 2 adrenergic agonist or alpha 1 adrenergic antagonist
Alpha2 Adrenergic Agonist- clonidine
