DHP prototypes
nifedipine
amlodipine
DHP MOA
blocks vascular L-type CaCh > cardiac Chs
Non DHP prototypes
Verapamil
diltiazem
Non DHP MOA
nonselective block of vascular and cardiac L-type CaCh
CCBs effects on SM
vasodilate -> decrease peripheral resistance
aa more sensitive then vv so orthostatic hypotension not usually an issue
decreases O2 demand and work of heart
CCBs effects on cardiac mm
reduced contractility throughout the heart and decreases in SA node pacemaker rate and AV node conduction velocity
CCB pharmacodynamics
PO, but high first pass metabolism
high degree of plasma protein binding
Nifedipine, clevidipine, verapamil, and diltiazem are also IV
DHPs adverse effects
generally well tolerated
excessive hypotension, dizziness, HA, peripheral edema, flushing, tachycardia, rash, gingival hyperplasia
Non-DHPs adverse effects
dizziness, HA, peripheral edema, constipation, AV block ,bardycardia, heart failure, lupus-like rash (diltiazem), pulmonary edema, cough, wheezing
short-acting DHPs
nifedipine
increased risk of MI, stoke, death
should NOT be used for management of chronic HTN
Non-DHP contraindications
couse w/beta blocker
CCB general contraindications
overt heart failure
CCB drug interactions
verapamil may increase digoxin in blood levels
DHPS additive w/other vasodilators
Non-DHPs additive w/other cardiac depressants and hypotensive drugs
CCB indications
long-term outpatient therapy of HTN
HTN emergencies
angina
Diazoxide MOA
K Ch opener in SM
Diazoxide pharmacodynamics
reduced contraction -> arteriolar dilator -> reduced peripheral resistance -> reduced mean arterial pressue
Dizaoxide pharmacokinetics
relatively long acting 4-14hrs
exhibits high protein binding
typically administered in 3-4 injections 5-15min apart, sometimes IV
diaoxide adverse effects/contraindications
excessive hypotension resulting in stroke and MI
hypotensive effects are greater in renal failure or when on beta-blockers
hyperglycemia
avoided in patients w/ischemic heart disease
causes Na and H20 retention
dizoxide clinical uses
HTN emergencies
minoxidil MOA
opens KCh in SM
minoxidil Pharmacodynamics
increased K permeability -> decrease contraction
dilation of aa, but not vv
minoxidil adverse effects/contrainidcations
common- HA, sweating, hypertrichosis
reflex sympathetic stimulation and Na and fluid retention resulting in tachycardia, palpitations, angina, and edema
minoxidil must be used in combo w/beta blocker and loop diuretic
minoxidil clinical uses
long-term outpatient therapy of severe HTN
topical formulations for hair growth
Fendolopam MOA
agonist at D1R
