17
Q

ISA

A

intrinsic sympathomimetic activity

-labetolol, acebutolol, nevibutolol

18
Q

non-ISA

A

no intrinsic sympathomimetic activity

-propranolol, carvedilol, metoprolol, atenolol

19
Q

ischemic heart disease Tx

A

beta blockers - reduce angina episodes

  • increased exercise tolerance
  • timolol, metoprolol, propranolol - prolong survival after MI
20
Q

cardiac arrhythmia Tx

A

beta blockers - supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias

21
Q

glaucoma Tx

A

topical timolol, btaxolol, carteolol

22
Q

prazosin

A

alpha1 antagonist

  • prevent constriction of arteries and veins
  • BP reduced - decreased TPR
  • relaxes prostate smooth m
  • without diuretic - Na and water retention

does not effect alpha-2 receptor inhibition of NE release (decreased reflex tachycardia)

23
Q

men with HTN and BPH

A

prazosin

24
Q

central acting alpha-2 agonists

A

clonidine and methyldopa

-reduce sympathetic outflow from vasomotor centers of brainstem

rarely used today

25
Q

pregnancy HTN

A

methyldopa

26
Q

clonidine

A

decreases BP - via decreased CO and TPR

-sedation, dry month, depression, sexual dysfunction

27
Q

methyldopa

A

lower BP by reducing TPR

  • analog of L-dopa
  • converted to alpha-methylnorepinephrine

-sedation dry mouth, lack of concentration, sexual dysfunction

28
Q

HTN in pregnancy

A

stroke risk - SBP > 160 and DBP > 110

consider mother and fetus

29
Q

drugs for HTN in pregnancy

A

acute - labetalol, hydralazine, CCB, nitro

chronic - methyldopa, labetalol, nifedipine, hydralazine

30
Q

contraindicated for HTN in pregnancy

A

ACE (-), ARBs, direct renin inhibitors - fetal abnormalities

nitroprusside - CN poisoning

31
Q

hypertensive emergency

A

> 180/120 with acute end organ damage

goal - gradual reduction of BP without excessive hypotension

32
Q

most effective for hypertensive emergency

A

sodium nitroprusside

-long term - possible CN poisoning

33
Q

cardiac ischemia or after coronary bypass surgery with hypertensive emergency

A

nitroglycerin

34
Q

hypertensive emergency meds

A

nicardipine, clevidipine - DHP-CCB

fenoldopam - dilates renal arteries - good choice for pt with renal dysfunction

hydralazine - pregnancy related to eclampsia

35
Q

phentolamine

A

alpha-blocker

  • treat pts with HTN due to elevated catecholamines
  • cocaine intox, pheochromocytoma
36
Q

esmolol

A

rapid, short acting beta1 blocker

-treat aortic dissection or post-op HTN

37
Q

labetolol

A

alpha and beta blocker

-safe for patients with active coronary disease

38
Q

initial monotherapy in essential HTN

A
thiazide
ACE (-)
ARB
CCB
**beta blockers NOT used unless specific indication
39
Q

black pt with essential HTN

A

better to thiazide diuretics and CCBS

-worse to ACE (-) and beta-blockers

40
Q

monotherapy vs. polytherapy in HTN

A

mono - pt compliance, decreased cost, less adverse effects

poly - each drug acts on one of set of interacting mutually compensatory mechanisms
-decreased toxicity (2-3 drugs at low dose as opposed to one at higher dose)

41
Q

example HTN combo drugs

A

ACE (-) and CCB
-trandolapril/verapamil

ACE (-) and diuretic
-benazepril/HCTZ

ARB and diuretic
-valsartan/HCTZ

beta-blocker and diuretic
-propranolol/HCTZ

central agent and diuretic
-reserpine/chlorothiazide

diuretic and diuretic
-spironolactone/HCTZ

42
Q

triple drug regimens

A

thiazide diuretic, DHP-CCB, and

-ACE (-), ARB, or renin (-)
