| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Thiazides (antihypertensives) | dilates arterioles + inhibits reabsorption |
| Diuretics | excretion of sodium and water |
| Diuretics | used in heart failure patients |
| Calcium channel blockers | relax smooth muscle + vasospastic anginas |
| Beta Blockers | block RAAS + negative inotrope + lowers BP + decreases cardiac work load + 1st line for angina |
| Nitrates | decrease oxygen demand + increase oxygen supply by vasodilation + relax smooth muscle + decrease spams + negative inotrope |
| ACE Inhibitors | block RAAS + decrease periphreal resistance and BP + decrease cardiac workload + monitor hydration |
| Cardiac Glycosides | always monitor HR and BP + increase effeciency of heart by increasing cardiac output + positive inotrope |
| Thrombolytics | dissolves clots obstructing coronary artery |
| antidysthythmics | treat and prevent disturbances in cardiac rhythm |
| Heparin | monitor aPTT + antidote is protamine sulfate |
| Lovenox | low mol. wt Heparin |
| Niacin | 2-3 g + lowers cholesterol |
| Statins | most potent LDL lowering drug + must monitor liver enzymes |
| Amiodaron (Cordaron) | artrial dysrhythmias + last resort |
| Digoxin (Loanoxin) | cardiac glycoside + HF/ positive inotrope |
| Lidocane | ventricular arrhythmias |
| Retavase (Reteplase) | thrombolytic |
| Nitroglycerin | vasopastic anginas |
| Isosorbide dinitrate | HF (vasodilator) + increases blood flow |
| Carvedilol (Coreg) | beta blocker + HF/lowers BP + reduce cardiac workload |
| Aldactone (Spinolactone) | K+ sparring diuretic |
| Amiloride (Midamor) | K+ sparring diuretic |
| Triamterene (Dyrenium) | K+ sparring diuretic |
