Week 3: Cardiovascular Drugs Flashcards
What are the effects of Epinephrin
Raise BP, HR and SV
mixed alpha and beta activity
“Emergency Resusitation”
What are the Inotrope drugs
Epinephrine
Dopamine
Dobutamine
What are the effects of Dopamine
increases BP, HR and SV
alpha 1 and beta 1 receptors
What are the effects of Dobutamine
increase SV and CO w/out vasodilation
What drug is a Inodilator
Pimobendin (Vetmedin)
What are the effects of Pimobendin (Vetmedin)
decreases HR and BP
drug of choice for canine CHF
What are the ACE Inhibition drugs
The “prils”
Benazepril
Enalapril
What are the effects of Benazepril
increase BP
Angio I and Angio II blocker
What diuretic drug do we use in vet med
Furosamide
What are the effect of Furosamide
reduce Blood volume in CHF
paralyze reabsorption of sodium
What drugs are Afterload Reducers “Arteriolar Dilators
Pimobendin (Vetmedin)
Prazosin
Sildenafil (Viagra)
Why would we use Pimobendin (Vetmedin), Prazosin, and Sildenafil (Viagra) as an Afterload Reducer
Reduce Pulmonary Hypertension
Decrease BP
What drugs would we use for Acute Ventriclar Arrhythmia Management
Procanamide and Lidocaine WITHOUT epinephrine
How do the drugs Procanamide and Lidocaine WITHOUT epinephrine assist in Acute Ventricular Arrhythmia Management
Supresses myocardial excitability
What are the two options in Managing Atrial Arrhthmia
Stabalize SA Node
Reduce ventricular autopacing
What are the drugs used to stabilize SA node in Atrial Arrhythmia
and how do they do this
Quinidine
Sotalol
slow cardiac activity
What are the drugs use to reduce ventricular autopacing in Atrial Arrhythmia
and how do they do this
Propanalol
Digoxin
Diltiazem
Reduce HR “numbing the heart”
What are the drugs used for anticoagulation
Clopidogrel
Aspirin
Coumarin
How does Clopidogrel assist in anticoagulation
inhibits platelets forming clots
How does the drug Aspirin assist in anticoagulation
inhibits platelets stickiness
How does the drug Coumarin assist in anticoagulation
inhibits Vitamin K for long term anticoagulation effects
