Therapeutic Effect
pharmacology exam 2
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| dilates coronary arteries, improves collateral blood flow to ischemic areas, causes relaxation of arteriole and smooth muscle | organic nitrates |
| relaxes smooth muscle arteriole, lowers myocardial oxygen, lowers HR | calcium channel blocker |
| prevents further extension of existing thrombi or new clot formation | parenteral anti-coagulant |
| prevents DVT, produces anticoagulant, does not affect aPTT | LMWH anti-coagulant |
| prevents further clotting | oral anti-coagulant |
| inhibits platelet aggregration | anti-platelet |
| degrades fibrin clot | thrombolytic agent |
| reduces LDL, increases HDL | statin therapy |
| removes large amounts of water, produces diuresis, lowers BP | loop diuretic |
| produces diuresis, lowers BP | potassium sparing diuretic |
| lowers BP, reduces edema | thiazide diuretic |
| antihypertensive, vasodilator HTN; reduces peripheral arterial, resistance CHF; increases cardiac output lowers BP | ACE inhibitor |
| antiangial, antiarrythmic, antihypertensive, slows HR, lowers BP, lowers cardiac output, lowers myocardial demand | beta blocker |
| decreases cardiac contractility, relaxes smooth muscle in heart and arterioles, increases HR and cardiac output, lowers BP | calcium channel blocker |
| causes heart to beat slower and more forcefully, improving cardiac output, increases strength of contraction | cardiac glycosides |
