Q
  1. cause vasodilation–> decreases peripheral resistance
  2. arterioles are more sensitive than veins
  3. orthostatic hypotension is not usually a problem
  4. relaxation of arteriolar smooth muscle leads to decreased afterload and decreased O2 demand by the heart

Q

CCBs: block channels in smooth muscle at much lower concentrations

A

non-DHPs: this is significant because while they have more cardiac effects, their cardiac effects are negligible at effective therapeutic concentrations

Q

Excessive hypotension–> stroke & MI

Hypotensive effects worse in

  1. patients with renal failure (due to reduced protein binding
  2. patients pretreated with β-blockers to prevent reflex tachycardia
A

K+ channel opener: Diazoxide

25
Q

in which patients should K channel opener diazoxide be administered in smaller doses than other patient populations?

A
  1. renal failure patients (reduced protein binding)
  2. patients pre-tx with beta blockers for reflux tachycardia
  3. hyperglycemic patients, especially if they have renal insufficiency
26
Q

in which patients should diazoxide be avoided?

A

patients with ischemic heart disease due to propensity for angina,

ischemia, and cardiac failure

27
Q

contrast dizoxide to other diuretics

A

diazoxide causes sodium and water retention; this is rarely a problem due to the typical short duration of use

28
Q

Common: headache, sweating, hypertrichosis (abnormal hair growth)

A

Minoxidil

29
Q

use is associated with

  1. reflex sympathetic stimulation
  2. sodium + fluid retention –> tachycardia, palpitations, angina, and edema
A

minoxidil

30
Q

must be used in combination with a beta blocker and loop diuretic to avoid AEs

A

minoxidil must be used in combination with a β-blocker and loop diuretic in order to avoid these effects

31
Q

Long-term outpatient therapy of severe hypertension and in topical formulations used to stimulate hair growth

A

minoxidil

32
Q

Administered by continuous IV infusion due to rapid metabolism and short half-life (10 min)

A

fendolapam

33
Q

Tachycardia, headache, and flushing

A

fendolapam

34
Q

Should be avoided in patients with glaucoma due to increases in intraocular pressure

A

D1 receptor agonist fendolapam

35
Q

Hypertensive emergencies, peri- and postoperative hypertension

A

fendolapam

36
Q

Stimulates release of nitric oxide from endothelium resulting in increased cGMP levels

A

Hydralazine

37
Q

1) dilation of arterioles, but not veins; reflex tachycardia
2) hyperpolarizes the smooth muscle membrane, reducing the probability of contraction; arteriolar dilator resulting in reduced systemic vascular resistance and mean arterial pressure
3) hyperpolarizes the smooth muscle membrane, reducing the probability of contraction. dilation of arterioles, but not veins; more efficacious than hydralazine
4) Administered by continuous IV infusion due to rapid metabolism and short half-life (10 min)
5) Metabolism occurs in part via acetylation, so bioavailability is variable among individuals dependent on rate of acetylation
6) Powerful dilation of arterial and venous vessels, reduces peripheral vascular resistance and venous return
7) Rapid metabolism results in rapid onset and short duration of effect; Should be administered by IV infusion with continuous monitoring of arterial blood pressure
8) Relaxes most types of smooth muscle (veins > arteries); virtually no direct effect on cardiac or skeletal muscle
9) Increases venous capacitance; decrease ventricular preload; pulmonary vascular pressures and heart size are reduced. In the absence of heart failure, cardiac output is reduced.
10) Decreases platelet aggregation

A
  1. pharmacodynamics of hydralazine
  2. pharmacokinetics of diazoxide
  3. pharmacokinetics of minoxidil
  4. pharmoacokinetics of fendolapam

A
46
Q

Powerful dilation of arterial and venous vessels, reduces peripheral vascular resistance and venous return

A

nitroprusside

47
Q

Q

A

54
Q

1) excessive hypotension, dizziness, headache, peripheral edema, flushing, tachycardia, rash, and gingival hyperplasia have been reported, potentially increased risk of MI, stroke, or death in patients receiving short term tx for HTN

2) Dizziness, headache, peripheral edema, constipation, AV block, bradycardia, heart failure, lupus-like rash. pulmonary edema, coughing, and wheezing are possible, can slow atrioventricular conduction, can cause heart block, and are contraindicated in patients also taking a beta-blocker

A

1 = CCB, DHPs

2 = CCB, Non-DHPs

55
Q
  1. Hypotensive effects are greater in patients with renal failure (due to reduced protein binding) and in patients pretreated with β-blockers to prevent reflex tachycardia; smaller doses should be administered to these patients
