Cardiovascular Pharmacological Actions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| furosemide | increase the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the ascending portion of the loop of Henle |
| hydrochlorothiazide | inhibits reabsorption of sodium and chloride ions in the early distal tubule of nephron |
| spironolactone | blocks reabsorption of sodium in the collecting tubules, reduces excretion of potassium |
| digoxin | -increase cardiac output through positive inotropic activity -slow conduction velocity through the AV node in the heart |
| dobutamine | activated beta adrenergic receptors which increases cardiac contractility providing a positive inotropic effect |
| epinephrine | stimulates arterial vasoconstriction |
| vasopressin | stimulates v1 and v2 receptors |
| lisinopril/captopril | blocks production of angiotensin II causing arteriolar vasodilation |
| losartan | blocks angiotensin II receptors |
| amlodipine/nifedipine | block calcium channels in smooth muscle cells resulting in vasodilation |
| metoprolol/anteolol | block beta1 receptors causing decrease in heart rate and contractility and blocking release of renin in kidneys |
| hydralazine | dilates the arterioles |
