Week 3 (Exam 1) Flashcards
ACE inhibitors and pregancy
No no no!
Eplerenone
More selective (than spironolactone) aldosterone antagonist for Post-MI HF or for HTN
Caution in giving Chlorthalidone in patients with
Gout
Clinical uses for a-Methyldopa
HTN, but notably its a drug of choice for Gestational HTN
b1 Adrenergic Receptors
Increase HR, contractility, Renin
Clinical applications for Amiloride
Counteracts K+ loss from other diuretics given for HTN or heart failure
a1 Adrenergic Receptors
Vasoconstriction (increased Veinous Return)
Candesartan
Irreversibly binding Angiotensin II receptor Inhibitor
Nebivolol MOA
Induces NO (cardioselective and vasodilatory)
Phentolamine
HTN emergency drug
induces catecholamine excess
Amlodipine
Dihydropyridine CCB used in CAD and HT, but its got a super long 30-50 hour half life
Toxicities of Catopril
Cough and Angioedema
Valsartan
Non-ProDrug Angiotensin II Receptor Inhibitor
Major toxicities associated with a-Methyldopa
Positive Coombs Test, SLE-like Sx
Angina, Bell’s, Rash, amenorrhea, impotence, anemia…
Where do Sodium channel blockers and Spironolactone act on the Loop of Henle?
Cortical Collecting Duct
Major Toxicities associated with Hydrochlorothiazide
Sulfonamide: associated hypersensitivity
Hypokalemia, -magnesemia, -natremia, -chloremic acidosis
Effects of Clonidine
Transient increase in BP when given IV
Reduced Sympathetic Outflow
Nifedipine Clinical Applications
First line treatment for HTN (being a Ca channel blocker)
Off label use for HTN emergency in pregnancy and Pulmonary HTN
a2 Adrenergic Receptors
In brain and periphery, decrease sympathetic tone
Clinical applications for Cilostazol
Intermittent Claudication
Clevidipine
HTN emergency drug
Contraindications: soy, egg allergies and lipid metabolism problems
Losartan MOA
Nonpeptide angiotensin II receptor antagonist
What does aliskirin do?
Prevents Angiotensinogen cleavage to Angiotensin I via Direct Renin Inhibition
Dobutamine receptor target
B1 receptors of the heart for increased rate and contractility, peripheral vasodilation
Toxicities of Diltiazem
Edema, Headache mostly
DA target in treating Shock
b-receptors at lower doses
+a-receptors at high doses
First line treatment of HTN with Aortic Disease
b-Blockers
Clinical applications of Spironolactone
Counteracts K+ Loss from other diuretics in HTN/HF
Reduces Fibrosis in HFrEF and Post-MI HF
Off label for HFpEF hirsutism, acne, female alopecia
How to treat black adults for HTN (as long as they don’t have HF or CKD)
Thiazide-type diuretic or CCB
Try for 2+ antihypertensives
Esmolol
HTN emergency drug
Contraindicated with b-blocker use, bradycardia, decompensated HF
High doses block b2 and hurt lungs in reactive airway dz
What Angiotensin II effects are spared by ARBs?
Vasodilation, cell growth, apoptosis
Clinical Uses for Verapamil
IV: supraventricular Tach
Oral: HTN
Off Label: Migraine Prevention, Cardiac Hypertrophy
Prazosin MOA
Competitive a1-adrenergic antagonist
Systolic Murmurs
Mr As
Differentiate presentations of platelet defects vs clotting factor defects
Platelet: Mucocutaneous bleeding, petechiae
Factor: Deep tissue bleeding, delayed
Nitroprusside MOA
Direct Venous and Arteriolar SM Dilation
Nicardipine
HTN emergency drug
Contraindicated in advanced aortic stenosis
Labetalol
HTN emergency drug
Contraindicated with reactive airway disease or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Really great for Hyperandrenergic syndromes
May worsen HF and shouldn’t be given w 2/3 heart block or bradycardia
Diltiazem MOA
Non-Dihydropyridine Slow Channel Ca Blocker
Cardioselective
Effects of Diltiazem
Coronary Vascular SM relaxation / Dilation
Slows AV conduction
Hydrochlorothiazide MOA
K+-Losing Thiazide Diuretic
What is the half-life of Catopril?
1.7 hours (longer in renal impairment)
Clinical applications of Prazosin etc
HTN: Late choice because you can get a stroke and CHF with doxazosin compared to chlorthalidone
Off label for PTSD
Clinical uses for Clonidine
HTN (not initial)
XRs for ADHD
Cancer Pain, Opioid withdrawal
Where do Osmotic Diuretics act on the Loop of Henle?
Thin Descending Loop
Benazepril
ACE inhibitor with longer half life with 1xday dosing
Key Differences between Nifedipine and Verapamil
Nifedipine Increases HR and CO (SNS reflex activation)
B/c more dilation w/ less inoptropy and no chronotropy
a-1 Blockers Side Effect
Orthostatic Hypotension
Preferred thiazide diuretic
Chlorthalidone
Drug related to pedal edema
Dihydropyridines (CCB)
