Question
Answer
sotalol toxicity   torsades, excessive beta-block  
🗑
ibutilide toxicity   torsades  
🗑
bretylium toxicity   new arrhythmias, hypotension  
🗑
amiodorone toxicity   hypothyrodism/hyperthyrodism, pulmonary fibrosis, hepatic toxicity, corneal deposits, skin deposits (photodermatitis), neurologic defects, constipation, bradycardia, heart block, chf  
🗑
what 3 tests to do before using amiodarone?   PFT, LFT, TFT  
🗑
name 2 class IV antiarrhytmics   verapamil, diltiazem  
🗑
mechanism for class IV antiarrhythmics   blocks Ca channels; affect AV nodal cells, decrease conduction velocity, incrase ERP, increase PR.  
🗑
what are class IV antiarrhythmics used for   prevent nodal arryhtmias (SVT)  
🗑
what are 4 general side effects for class IV   constipation, flushing, edema, cv (chf, av block, sinus node depression)  
🗑
bepridil toxicity   torsades  
🗑
adenosine function   hyperpolarizes cells by facilitating K movement out of cells. drug of choice in diagnosing/abolishing AV nodal arryhtmias  
🗑
potassium function   depress ectopic pacemaker, esp in dig toxicity  
🗑
magnesium function   torsades and dig toxicity use  
🗑
what are the adverse effects of nifedipine and verapamil? (5)   dizziness, flushing, nausea (verapamil also has constipation and AV block)  
🗑
adverse effects of Diazoxide?   hypoglycemia - reduces insulin release  
🗑
what is the first-line treatment of hypertension in pregnancy?   hydralazine with methyldopa  
🗑
what is the mechanism of minoxidil?   K channel opener --> hyperpolarizes and relaxes vascular smooth muscle  
🗑
what is the toxicity of minoxidil?   hypertrichosis, pericardial effusion  
🗑
what is the treatment for malignant hypertension?   nitroprusside, fenoldopam and diazoxide  
🗑
what is the mechanism of action of fenoldopam?   Dopoamine D1 receptor agonist --> relaxes renal vascular smooth muscle  
🗑
what is the mechanism of diazoxide?   K channel opener --> hyperpolarizes and relaxes vascular smooth muscle  
🗑
what are the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors?   lovastatin, pravastatin, simvastatin, atorvastatin  
🗑
What effects do the statins have on LDL, HDL and TGs?   greatly decreases LDL, increases HDL and decreases TGs

🗑
What effect does Niacin have on LDL, HDL and TGs?   decreases LDL, increases HDL, lesser decrease in TGs  
🗑
what is the mechanism of action of niacin?   inhibits lipolysis in adipose tissue; reduces hepatic VLDL secretion into circulation  
🗑

🗑
what are the bile acid resins?   cholestyramine, colestipol  
🗑
what is the mechanism of action of cholestyramine and colestipol?   prevent intestinal reabsorption of bile acids; liver must use cholesterol to make more  
🗑
what are side effects of cholestyramine and colestipol?   bad taste, causes GI discomfort, decreased absorption of fat-soluble vitamins  
🗑
What effect does ezetimibe have on LDL, HDL and TGs?   decreases LDL; no effect on others  
🗑
what is the mechanism of action of ezetimibe?   prevents cholesterol reabsorption at small intestine brush border  
🗑

🗑
what effect do the fibrates have on LDL, HDL and TGs?   mainly decrease TGs, lesser decrease LDL and increase HDL  
🗑
what is the mechanism of action of the fibrates?   upregulate LPL --> increase TG clearance  
🗑
what are the side effects of fibrates?   myositis, and increase in LFTs  
🗑
what Beta blockers are contraindicated in angina and why?   labetalol, pindolol and acebutolol, due to partial agonist effects  
🗑
