Vasodilators and Sympathoplegics Flashcards
Calcium Channel Blockers
Dihydropyridines
Non-dihydropyridines
Block calcium influx of SM, cardiac, and SA, AV nodes
Decrease resistance, increase BF
Negative ionotropic effects
HTN, HTN emergencies, angina
Dihydropyridines
**Amlodipine
**Nifedipine
Clevidipine
Felodipine
Isradipine
Nicardipine
Nisoldipine
MOA: block L-type vascular calcium channels > cardiac channels
Vasodilation causing reflex sympathetics counteracts any negative ionotropic effects
Long half life minimize reflex
Non-dihydropyridines
- *Diltiazem
- *Verapamil
MOA: non-selective block of L-type vascular and cardiac calcium channels
Decrease SA node firing and slow conduction
Potassium Channel Openers
Diazoxide
Minoxidil
MOA: hyperpolarize muscle cells
Dopamine Agonist
Fenoldopam
D1 agonist receptor
Increase kidney BF
Arteriole dilation, natriuretic
Emergency and post-op HTN
HA and tachy
Avoid with glaucoma
Nitric Oxide Modulators
**Hydralazine
**Nitroprusside
Organic Nitrates (Isosorbide dinitrate, nitroglycerin)
Increase NO to vasodilate
Relax veins
Decrease TPR, decrease preload and afterload
HTN emergencies, angina, HF
Beta Blockers
**Atenolol
**Carvedilol
**Labetalol
**Metoprolol
**Propranolol
Acebutolol
Betaxolol
Bisoprolol
Carteolol
Esmolol
Nadolol
Nebivolol
Penbutolol
Pindolol
Timolol
HTN with MI, HF, decreased left ventricular function
Predispose to DM
Asthma relative contraindication
Less stroke prevention
Alpha 1 Blockers
**Prazosin Doxazosin Terazosin Prevent vasocontriction Relax prostate Water and salt retention
Centrally acting Alpha 2 Agonists
**Clonidine
**Methyldopa
Guanabenz
Guanfacine
Reduce sympathetic outflow
Amlodapine
DHP - CCB

Shorter half life
Clevidipine
DHP - CCB
Can be used IV
Shorter half life
Felodipine
DHP - CCB
Minimize cardiac effects
Isradipine
DHP - CCB
Long half life
Nicardipine
DHP - CCB
Nisoldipine
DHP - CCB
Ditiazem
CCB
Can cause lupus like rash
Verapamil
CCB
Strongest negative ionotropic effect
**Constipation
Diazoxide
Potassium channel opener
Vasodilation
Decreased use for HTN emergencies
Excessive hypotension (MI) Hyperglycemia
Minoxidil
Potassium channel opener
Severe HTN
Used for baldness
HA and sweating, hypertrichosis
Reflex tachycardia
