Hypertension med
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Loop Diueretic Medication name | Furosemide, Lasix |
| Ace Inhibitor Medication name | Catopril ("pril"), Capoten |
| Vasodilator Medication name | Hydralazine, Apresoline |
| Thiazide, Thiazide-like, loop diuertic Medication name | HTZ Hydrodiuril |
| Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB) Medication name | Losartan, Cozaar |
| When are ARBs used? | When ACE is not effective |
| Beta Blocker Medication name | Atenolol ("lol"), tenormin |
| Potassium Sparing Diurectic Medication name | Spriolactone, Aldactone |
| Calcium Channel Blocker (CCB) Medication name | Amlodipine, Norvasc |
| If left untreated HTN has serious risks for.. (5) | CAD, CVA, CHF, Renal Failure, PVD |
| Action of Beta blockers | block receptors |
| 2 types of Beta blockers | Nonselective- smooth muscle of bronchioles and blood vessels, Cardioselective- heart |
| Decreases occur depending on the type of beta-blocker such as: (4) | Peripheral vascular resistance, BP&HR, slows conduction, Myocardial O2 consumption |
| Indications for Beta Blockers: (7) | HTN, angina, MI, Dysrhythmias, CHF, migraines, glaucoma |
| Contraindications for Beta Blockes: (5) | allergy, shock, heart attack, bradycardia, asthma (slows things down, do not want to slow them even more) |
| What do you want to check before giving a loop diuretic? | Potassium levels |
| What is the action of loop diuretics? | Diuresis; block Cl and Na reabsorption in the Loop of Henle |
| Loop Diurectics reduce: (2) | BP, Pulmonary and vascular resistance (reduce preload and edema) |
| Adverse effects of Loop diuretics (2) | Hypokalemia and dehydration |
| Action of Potassium- sparing diuretics | Weaker diuretic compared to loop and thiazides, work in collecting ducts & distal tubules, block reabsorption of Na & water, retain K |
| Contraindications of potassium-sparing diuretics | allergy, hyerpkalemia and renal failure/anura |
| Action of thiazide diuretics | work in distal tubules, inhibit the reabsorption of Na, K and Cl, Relax arterioles (decreased peripheral vasc resistance) |
| Adverse effects of thiazide diuretics | Hypokalemia, elevated blood sugar, lipids, Ca & uric acid levels, HA, impotence, decreased libido |
| Interactions of thiazide diuretics | altered effecs with corticosteroids, lithium, digoxin, NSAIDS, some oral DM meds |
| Action of Vasodialators | Direct arterial/venous smooth muscle relaxation/vasodilation |
| Contraindications of Vasodialators | allergy, hypotension, Central edema or head injury, acute MI |
| Action of ACE ("pril") | CV and renal effects, decreased preload (diuresis), afterload (decreased resistance) so lessesns cardiac workload |
| Adverse effects of ACE | fatigue, dzziness, HA, mood change & COUGH |
| ACE interactions | NSAIDS(kidney failure), Lithium (toxicity), Oth HTN meds (hypotension), K supplements or K sparing diuretics (hyperkalemia) |
