vascular system Flashcards
Renin
- released by the kidneys in response to decrese perfusion
RAAS
Angiotensinogen
- released by liver
- converted to angiotensin I by renin
Angiotensin I
- no known activity
- converted to angiotensin II by ACE
Angiotensin II
- causes vasoconstriction, salt retention, vascular growth
- stimulates release of aldosterone
Medications classes effecting the RAAS
Direct renin inhibitor
ACEi
Angiotensin receptor blockers
Aldosterone antagonists
Direct Renin Inhibitor
Mechanism of action
Aliskerin
direct renin inhibitor
Aliskerin MOA
Direct renin inhibitor- prevent conversion of
angiotensinogen to angiotensin I
Aliskerin ADRs
Diarrhea, dyspepsia, Hypotension
aliskerin drug interactions
Increased levels with?
Increased levels when combined with CYP3A4 inhibitors like macrolide antibiotics
Aliskerin dental implications
- Monitor vital signs
- After supine positioning, have patient sit upright
for at least 2 minutes before standing to avoid
orthostatic hypotension
ACEi MOA diagrammed
ACEi suffix
-pril
ACE Inhibitors
Adverse drug reactions/ contraindications
mneumonic?
C: Cough (up to 10%)
A: Angioedema (<1%) / Agranulocytosis (rare)
P: Potassium excess (hyperkalemia 1-10%)/Proteinuria (rare)
T: Taste change (2-4%)
O: Orthostatic hypotension (~5%)
P: Pregnancy (contraindication)
R: Renal artery stenosis- bilateral (contraindication)
I: Increased serum creatinine (1-10%- transient)
L: Leukopenia (rare) / Liver Toxicity (rare
lisinopril MOA
inhibits the angiotensin converting enzyme blocking the
conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II
lisinopril ADRs
Cough, angioedema, hypotension, acute renal
insufficiency, hyperkalemia, taste disturbances/dry mouth(rare)
Lisinopril drug interactions:
* NSAIDs
* Alcohol
* General anesthesia
- NSAIDs- reduced anti-hypertensive effect
- Alcohol- increased anti-hypertensive effect
- General anesthesia- increased anti-hypertensive effect
ACE Inhibitors
Dental Implications
- Orthostatic hypotension:
- After supine positioning, have patient sit upright for
at least 2 minutes before standing to avoid orthostatic
hypotension - Monitor vital signs
- ACE Inhibitor induced cough may make longer dental proceduresdifficult
- If dental surgery is anticipated evaluate risk of hypotensive episode
Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers
Mechanism of action diagram
Angiotensin Receptor blockers suffix
-sartan
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers
Adverse drug reactions
menumonic? do not cause?
Halt Dangerous Hypertension:
* Headache / Hypotension
* Dizziness
* Hyperkalemia
DO NOT CAUSE: Cough and Angioedema (probably)
candesartan MOA
Blocks the AT1 receptor of angiotensin II
candesartan ADRs
Hypotension, dizziness, and hyperkalemia
candesartan drug interactions:
* Sedative medications
* NSAIDs
* General anesthesia
- Sedative medications- increased anti-hypotensive effects
- NSAIDs- reduced anti-hypertensive effect
- General anesthesia- increased anti-hypertensive effect
Angiotensin Receptor Blockers
Dental Implications
- Orthostatic hypotension:
- After supine positioning, have patient sit upright for
at least 2 minutes before standing to avoid orthostatic
hypotension - Monitor vital signs
- If dental surgery is anticipated evaluate risk of hypotensive episode
angiotensin receptor neprilsyn inhibitor MOA
Sacubitril/Valsartan MOA’s
- MOA: Sacubitril inhibits neprilysin resulting in elevated levels of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and valsartan blocks the angiotensin II AT1 receptor
Sacubitril/Valsartan ADRs
Hypotension, hyperkalemia, angioedema
Sacubitril/Valsartan drug interactions:
ACEi?
ACE inhibitors- increased risk of angioedema
Sacubitril/Valsartan dental
Watch to hypotension upon rising
Aldosterone antagonists Mechanism of action
(where?)
Competitive antagonist of the aldosterone receptor
(myocardium, arterial walls, kidney)
ALDOSTERONE
Cardiac and renal effects
Aldosterone antagonists names
spironolactone
eplerenone
Spironolactone moa
also referred to as?
Competitively inhibits the action of aldosterone
* May also be referred to as a potassium-sparing diuretic
sprionolactone ADRs
Hyperkalemia, renal insufficiency, gynecomastia(males), dry mouth
spironolactone drug interactions:
NSAIDs
- NSAIDs: reduced anti-hypertensive effect and Increased risk of nephrotoxicity
Aldosterone Antagonists
Dental Implications
- Monitor vital signs
- Assess salivary flow as a factor in caries, periodontal disease, and candidiasis secondary to dry mouth from diuretic effect
Vascular Smooth Muscle Tone
Key Mediators of constriction and dialation
- Vasoconstriction: Angiotensin II and Endothelin-1
- Vasodilation: Nitric oxide and Prostaglandin
vacular smooth mm cell contraction mechanism
