Treatment of Myocarditis, Endocarditis, and Pericarditis Flashcards
What is the Genaral Management of a Patient with Myocarditis?
Treatment of Hemodynamically stable HF with reduced ejection fraction includes diuresis
ACE inhibitor (or ARB)
Beta-Blockers therapy is decreased or withheld in patients with more than mild acute decompensated HF
what are the common ACE inhibitors used?
- Benazepril
- Captopril
- Enalapril
- Fosinopril
- Lisinopril
Moexipril
Perindopril
Quinapril
what are the common angiotensin II receptor blockers?
Azilsartan Candesartan Eprosartan Irbesartan *Losartan Olmesartan Telmisartan *Valsartan
Indications, MOA of Benazepril?
Management of Hypertension and the treatment of Heart failure (reduced ejection fraction)
Does not contain a sulfa group
Competes with ACE for the substate angiotensin ! and therby blocking it from turning to angiotensin II
Adverse reactions and contrainidictions of Benazepril
Adverse Reactions •alopecia •anaphylactoid reactions •angina •angioedema •Anxiety…many more
Contraindications •ACE-inhibitor induced angioedema •agranulocytosis •Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors) hypersensitivity •aortic stenosis •Black patients •bone marrow suppression •breast-feeding •cardiomyopathy •cerebrovascular disease •children
what are the monitoring Parameters for Benazepril?
Monitoring Parameters •blood pressure •serum creatinine/BUN •serum potassium •serum sodium
what is the Black Box warning for Benazepril
Black Box Warning: Fetal Toxicity-When pregnancy is detected, discontinue ASAP. Drugs that act directly on the renin-angiotensin system can cause injury and death to the developing fetus.
Indications and Monitoring Parameters of Captopril
ACE inhibitor

What are the Indications for Lisinopril?
ACE inhibitor
IND: HPTN, HF for patients not responding to diuretics and digitalis, AMI for the treatment of hemodynamically stable patients within 24 hours
what are the 3 drug drug interactions of Lisinopril?
Patients on Diuretic therapy
Antidiabetics (lead to hypoglycemia)
NSAIDS (lead to destruction of renal function)
