Question
Answer
Name the 4 strategies to combat HTN with drugs   1. reduce blood volume 2. reduce SANS tone 3. reduce vagal tone 4. relaxation of vascular smooth muscle  
🗑
What are the 4 determinants of BP?   1. CO - heart rate (not enough vagal tone --> HR too fast), 2. CO - contractility (too much SANS tone, B1), 3. peripheral resistance (too much SANS tone, a1), 4. body fluid volume (edema, too much renin, or too much ANGII --> too much Na and H2O retention  
🗑
What are the drugs that combat the 4 determinants of BP?   1. CO - heart rate (B blockers, CaCB's), 2. CO - contractility (B blockers), 3. peripheral resistance (anti-adrenergics, CaCB's, direct vasodilators, diuretics), 4. body fluid volume (diuretics, ACEi, ANGII antagonists)  
🗑
What are the three anti-hypertensives that actually prolong survival?   Live longer by ACEing THe Bank. 1. ACEi's, 2. thiazide diuretics, 3. B blockers  
🗑
Name the sympathoplegics used in antiHTN therapy   a2 agonists: a-methyldopa, clonidine; dec NE release: reserpine, guanethidine; a1 blockers: prazosin, doxazosin, terazosin; B blockers - propranolol  
🗑
Name the direct-acting vasodilators used in anti-HTN therapy.   Hydralazine, Nitroprusside, Minoxidil, Diazoxide  
🗑
Hydralazine   activate NO/EDRF pathway --> arteriolar dilation --> dec TPR (esp cerebral, coronary, renal); used in mod to severe HTN.  
🗑
Side effects of hydralazine   headache, flushing, sweating, fluid retention (use diuretic), reflex tachy (use B blocker), if slow acetylator --> SLE-like syndrome  
🗑
Nitroprusside   pro-drug --> sulfonation --> opens K+ channels --> membrane hyperpolarization --> arteriolar vasodilation; inc renin --> renal vasodilator. Used in mod to severe HTN.  
🗑
Side effects of nitroprusside   headache, flushing, sweating, fluid retention (use diuretic), reflex tachy (use B blocker), pulm HTN due to volume shifts, hypertrichosis (excessive hair growth).  
🗑
Diazoxide   K+ channel opening --> arteriolar vasodilation --> reflex tachy, inc CO, inc renin. Used IV for HTN emergencies, used to treat insulinoma (dec insulin secretion), relaxes uterine sm musc.  
🗑
Side effects of diazoxide   fluid retention (use diuretic, but not thiazide), tachy (use B blocker), dec insulin release --> hyperglycemia  
🗑
What is the difference between captopril and losartan?   Captopril = ACEi. Losartan = AT-1 receptor antagonist. Losartan blocks downstream from Captopril so that it avoids affecting bradykinin.  
🗑
Why should you use ACEi or AT-1 antagonists for diabetics?   Both dec vasoconstriction and BP --> dec glomerular efferent resistance --> slow development and progression of nephropathy.  
🗑
What are the adverse effects of ACEi and AT-1 antagonists?   hypotension, hypovolemia, dry cough (with ACEi's), hyperkalemia, acute renal failure (if have renal artery stenosis), angioedema.  
🗑
What population should avoid ACEi's and AT-1 antagonists?   pregnant women. Teratogen --> fetal hypotensio, renal failure, skull and renal malformations.  
🗑
What is recommended for the initial drug treatment fo mild to moderate HTN?   B blocker or thiazide diuretic as DOC's.  
🗑
If angina and HTN, use what?   B blockers, CaCB's  
🗑
If Diabetes and HTN, use what?   ACEi's, AT-1 antagonists  
🗑
If Heart failure and HTN, use what?   ACEi's, AT-1 antagonists  
🗑
If post-MI and HTN, use what?   B blockers  
🗑
If BPH and HTN, use what?   a blockers  
🗑
If dyslipidemias and HTN, use what?   a blockers, CaCB's  
🗑
