ACEIs and ARBs

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Question
Answer
effect on the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system   lowers BP, improves oxygenation to heart muscle, decreases remodeling of heart muscle after MI or HF, reduces adverse effects of diabetes on the kidney  
🗑
thought to be a factor in the cough associated with ACEIs   bradykinin  
🗑
mechanism of ARBs   angiotensin II receptor blockers  
🗑
do ARBs affect bradykinin   no therefore they do not have side effect of cough as ACEIs do  
🗑
do ACEIs and ARBs produce reflex tachycardia   no  
🗑
ACEIs help to prevent diabetic nephropathy by   improved renal hemodynamics, diminished proteinuria, retarded glomerular hypertrophy, slower rate of decline in GFR  
🗑
ACEIs   benazepril (Lotensin), captopril (Capoten), Enalapril (Vasotec), fosinopril (Monopril), lisinopril(Prinivil,Zestril), moexipril (Univasc), perindopril (Aceon), quinapril (Accupril), ramipril(Altace), trandolaparil(Mavik)  
🗑
ARBs   candesartan(Atacand), eprosartan(Teveten), irbesartan(Avapro), losartan(Cozaar), olmesartan(Benicar), telmisartan(Micardis), valsartan(Diovan)  
🗑
only short-acting ACEI   Captropril (Capoten)  
🗑
kidney is primary organ of excretion for ACEIs except for   fosinopril (Monopril) and moexipril(Univasc)  
🗑
3 absolute contraindications for ACEIs   1. bilateral renal artery stenosis 2. angioedema 3. pregnancy  
🗑
what must be adequate before starting these drugs to prevent renal dysfunction   hydration status  
🗑
what electrolyte imbalance contraindicates use   hyperkalemia  
🗑
most common side adverse drug reactions   those associated with hypotension (dizziness, h/a, fatigue, orthostatic hypotension)  
🗑
concurrent use of K supplements, K sparing diuretics or cyclosporine may result in   hyperkalemia  
🗑
drug of choice for treatment of HTN in which pts   young, white, DM, HF, MI  
🗑
diuretics with ACEIs and ARBs   diuretics should be stopped for 2-3 days prior to starting then reintroduced sin data suggest that all pts with HTN should be on a diuretic  
🗑
Which diuretic is best choice with ACEIs   thiazides because reduced aldosterone secretion associated with ARBs may cause hyperkalemia  
🗑
in pts with DM II, HTN, and microalbuminuria ACEIs and ARBs have been shown to delay the progression to   macroalbuminuria  
🗑
in pts with DMII, HTN, macroalbuminuria, and renal insufficiency ARBs have been shown to delay the progression to   diabetic nephropathy  
🗑
for DM, dual blockade with ACEIs and ARBs(safe but requires monitoring for hyperkalemia) has been shown to statistically significant reduction in   albuminuria and BP  
🗑
recommended for use for all patients with   chronic stable angina, CAD to prevent MI or death and to reduce symptoms  
🗑
Medications recommended post MI   ACEI, beta blocker, antiplatelet therapy, lipid lowering therapy  
🗑
ARBs affect not only ATII receptors but   ATI receptors  
🗑
may be beneficial to use combo of ACEIs and ARBs post MI because   bradykinin has cardioprotective effects, and provides complete inhibition of ATII  
🗑
ACEIs should be started regardless early after MI in stable high risk pts and continued indefinitely for   pts with LV dysfunction (EF<40%)  
🗑
ACEIs and ARBs principal mechanism in treating HF is   their role in reducing remodeling  
🗑
a cornerstone of therapy for HF pts in all guidelines   ACEIs  
🗑
ACEIs address all causes of HF   CAD, HTN,  
🗑
in HF pts who cannot tolerate an ACEI, what other combination is equally effective in reducing morbidity and mortality from CHF   hydralazine with a long acting nitrate (Bidil)  
🗑
initiate tx with short acting captopril to determing pt tolerance then   convert to a longer acting to improve adherence  
🗑
which ACEI can be mixed in foods for those who have difficulty swallowing   ramipril (Altace)  
🗑
when initiating therapy check BP when   before and within 1 hour of first dose  
🗑
monitor creatinine levels when   before, 1 week, monthly x 3 months, with any dose change  
🗑
ACEI should be reduced if creatinine is >   2.5mg/dL  
🗑
monitor CBC when   before, monthly x 3-6months. d/c if neutrophil count is < 1000/mm3  
🗑
many salt substitutes contain   potassium  
🗑
rash may occur with which ACEI and is not a class phenomenon   captopril  
🗑
