| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| digoxin is exreted? | in the urine |
| what do you not want to use for prinzmetal | B blockers |
| B blocker that is lipid soluble and enters CNS | Propranolol |
| B blocker that does not enter CNS as much | Atenolol |
| three things digoxin does | decreases HR, TPR, and Na levels |
| nitrates do? | reduce preload and afterload |
| Ca channel blockers do? | reduce contractility and afterload |
| What do DHP Ca channels do? | decrease afterload and dilate coronary vessels |
| DHP should be put with | B blockers |
| what do B blockers do | decrease HR, contractility, output and systolic AP |
| dont use digoxin for? | diastolic failure |
| what would you use for increased renal, splanchnic and coronary perfusion | dopamine (LOW DOSE) |
| in the heart cAMP causes? | contraction |
| in VSM cAMP causes? | relaxation |
| why can't milrinone be used chronically | toxicity and arrhythmia |
| dobutamine is given | I.V. |
| Na nitroprusside is given? | I.V. |
| when do you add B blockers to a CHF patient | after ACEI and Diuretic |
| B blockers are especially effective with? | stress and exercise |
| do beta blockers increase HR | no |
| do cardiac specific Ca channel blockers increase HR | no |
| effect of B blockers on coronary blood flow | none |
| all Ca channel blockers are | vasodilators decreasing afterload |
| do Beta blockers affect preload or afterload | neither |
| what do B blockers and cardiac affecting ca channels have in common | they both decrease excitability of AV node |
| what is the problem with slowing contractility | increase ejection time |
| who can be montherapy for mild hypertension | ACEI, Thiazide, Ca Ch blocker, B antagonist, Alpha antagonist |
| A. increases rates of myocardial contraction and relaxation; can cause release of NE from sympathetic nerve terminals | dopamine |
| clonidine is a | Alpha 2 agonist |
| prazosin is a | Alpha 1 antagonist |
| alpha 1 antagonists are used for | HTN (good for benign prosthetic enlargement) |
| ACEI work most in CHF or HTN | CHF |
