Cardio Drugs Respons

Response of Cario Drugs

QuestionAnswer
Bile Acid Binding Resins Response: decrease LDL, increase TG and HDL
Statins Response: Decrease LDL and TG, increase HDL
Cholesterol Absorption Blockers Response: Decrease LDL and TGs, Increase HDL
Niacin (Nicotinic Acid) Response: Decrease LDL, TGs and VDLD, Increase HDL
Fibrates Response: Decrease LDL and TG, increase HDLIncrease HDL-C b/c of PPARalpha stim of apoA-I and apoA-II expression
Nitrates DECREASE SYSTEMIC VENOUS CONTRACTION (dec work, dec O2 need Dec filling P (preload), Dec syst art contract (decr work, decrease O2 need, dec filling P, decr afterload), Dec pulm/syst edema (dec work), Dec large heart A contrac (inc O2 supp)
B-adrenergic Blockers Response: decrease HR and contractility, arterial blood pressure (decrease O2 demand), increase coronary flow via increase time in diastole (increase O2 supply)HT: decrease CO, renin release and SNS to decrease BP (not sure how or why but it does)
Ca Channel Blockers Response: DV: decrease HR and contractility (decrease O2 demand), All: decrease systemic arterial contraction (decrease O2 demand) and coronary artery contraction (increase O2 supply)
Ranolazine Response: No affect on BP or HR, increase exercise tolerance, decrease anginal attacks
Aspirin Response: PHENOMENAL decrease in risk of death or MI, can see benefits in 1st day of treat!
ADP Inhibitors Response: decrease risk of death or MI, early is better
GP IIb/IIIa Receptor Inhibitor Response: Decrease in risk of death or MI, early is better
Heparin Heparin Response: LMWH > Heparin @ reducing death or MI in combo w/aspirin in unstable angina
Fondaparinux Response: reduce death or MI in ACS (acute coronary syndromes like acute myocardial ischemia) similar to heparins
Direct Thrombin Inhib Response: stable levels of x-coag (not yet proven beneficial in unstable angina)
Fibrinolytic (TPA) Response: recanalize (re-allow flow) thrombotic occlusion, restore coronary flow, reduce infarct size, improve myocardial function and survival over short and long terms
Analgesics Response: decrease pain, anxiety, restlessness, ANS, venous and arterial contraction (all decrease O2 demand)
Renin Angiotensin Inhib dec V and A contrac, SNS, remodeling (for 2nd prevention), TPR (HT), increase renal Na/H2O excretionHF: Response: decrease venous and arterial contraction, VENTRICULAR REMODELING, SNS, preload and afterload, increase excretion of Na and H2O
Oral X-Coags Response: decrease growth of existing thrombi, prevent new thrombi formation
Loop Diuretics Response: increase renal excretion of Na, H2O, K, Ca, Mg, CI and H, relax systemic veins (increase venous capacitance): both cause decrease preload (decreased energy needs), diuretic effect causes decrease in edema (dec dyspnea, like in congestive HF)
Thiazide Diuretics Response: increase renal excretion of Na, H2O, K+, Mg++, Cl- and H+ BUT decrease Ca excretion. Diuretic effect causes decrease in edema (decrease in dyspnea) and proload (dec E need), lower efficacy than loop diurs, activation of RAS (limits use in HT)
K+ Sparing Diuretics Response: increase Na, H2O excretion, decrease Ca, K, Mg and H excretion. Low efficacy alone.
Aldosterone Antagonists Increase excretion of Na, H20, Cl, decrease excretion of Ca, K, Mg and H. Low efficacy alone. Inhibit ventricular remodeling (slows progress of disease b/c aldosterone stim mineralocort in heart, promote fibrous lay down)HT: monother as eplerone
Direct Arterial Vasodilators Response: decrease arteriolar contraction -> decrease afterload -> decrease O2 demand (work)
Digoxin Response: decrease SNS, filling pressure, edema, AV conduction, increase CO, PNS, exercise tolerance and PR (b/c slower conduction @ AV node)
B agonists Response: Increase CO, decrease filling P
Phosphodiesterase Inhibs Response: increase contractility, rate of relax, CO, decrease venous and arterial contraction (DILATE ARTERIOLES), filling pressure and pulmonary arterial contraction
Nesiritide Response: decrease venous (STRONG) and arterial contraction, and filling pressure, increase CO
Class IA Response: decrease conduction and automaticity (b/c Na block), increase refractoriness (b/c K block), QRS (slower conduction, b/c Na channel block) and QT (increased refractoriness b/c K channel block)
Class IB Response: decrease conduction, automaticity (only in abnormal, not in normal) and QT (NOT BIG CHANGE IN EKG)
Class IC Response: decrease CONDUCTION, automaticity, increase QRS (VERY marked)
Class II Response: decrease conduction, automaticity (normal and abnormal), increase PR (delay @ AV node)
Class III Response: increase refractoriness, QT (*), decrease automaticity and PR (minor)
Class IV Response: Decrease AV conduction, and automaticity, increase PR (delay @ AV node)
Adenosine Response: Decrease AV conduction and sinus node rate, increase PR (longer conduction @ AV node)
Aliskiren Response: decrease angiotensin II actions, venous and arterial contraction, SNS, TPRIncrease renal Na/H2O excretion

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
